I don't like the idea of watching people kicking a ball around for however long it is. I find it boring. It's the same for every football match - someone wins someone loses. Why not just look up the results at the end? :smile:
A man has 3 sons in his will. There are 21 barrels of oil. 7 are full, 7 are half full and 7 are empty. There is no way of measuring out volume, but you can transfer oil between barrels. How do you split them up so that they get an equal share?

Is my uncle politically significant? Does he hold an office?

If you can't measure the volume then why not measure the length of the barrels and mark the half way point on each one. Then add more oil or less oil to the line if required. If it isn't equal then try putting the line a bit higher on each one and see if the line needs to be higher or lower and keep trying that lots of time. Hopefully you will eventually find where the line should be and put the right amount of oil in each barrel by trial and error. I might be talking nonsense, lol :tongue:
