Pill Puzzler
You've been placed on a course of expensive medication in which you are to take one tablet of medicine A and one tablet of medicine B daily. You must be careful that you take just one of each because taking more of either can have serious side effects. Taking an A without taking a B, or vice versa, can also be very serious, because they must be taken together in order to be effective. In summary, you must take exactly one of the A pills and one of the B pills at one time. Therefore, you open up the A bottle, and you tap one A pill into your hand. You put that bottle aside and you open the B bottle. You do the same, but by mistake, two Bs fall into your hand with the A pill. Now, here's the problem. You weren't watching your hand as the pills fell into it, so you can't tell the A pill apart from the two B pills. The pills look identical. They are the same size, same weight, same color, same everything, and they are not marked differently in any way. What are you going to do? You cannot tell which pill is which, and they cost $100 a piece, so you cannot afford to throw them away and start over again. How do you get your daily dose of exactly one A and exactly one B without wasting any of the pills? |

Tricky, tammy!
The trick is to not try to figure it out. Just cut them all in half and put each half in separate piles. You wind up with two piles. Each contains 2 1/2s of B (ie 1 B) and half of A.
Just cut one more A into halves, add each half to each pile. And now you have one A and one B in each pile.
Trivia: Of course this only works if the pills are striated, and can be cut. If not, then there is no guarantee that the medication is evenly divide between the two halves.
 phew, that was hard. |

Now, now, shylah. It's not nice to laugh. Men take longer at these things, it's not their fault.
Now where could I find a window to get out of this? |
