Dear Kids,

This blog is especially created for you! I'll post small stories, puzzles, jokes, etc. (mainly old ones, occasionally new ones) for you from time to time. This blog is dedicated to three people: (1) My grandpa - Fondly known to all of us as Appappa - who told me so many lovely stories (2) My cousin and friend (Uncle S for you) - who keeps teaching me lots of things that I can do on the computer. (3) My beloved wife (Aunty P for you) - who likes to hear my grandpa's stories from me. Hope you like this blog - Keep visiting! [If you are not a kid (or a kid at heart!!), use this blog to entertain kids known to you!]

Love, Uncle N

Solution to the Water Jug Puzzle

Dear Kids,

I'm sure that many of you would have found the answer to my question about the Water Jug Puzzle.

Yes, the water can be divided into two equal portions by following the steps given below:

    1. ( 8, 0, 0 ) 0: Beginning
    2. ( 3, 5, 0 ) 1: 5 litres from #1 into #2.
    3. ( 3, 2, 3 ) 2: 3 litres from #2 into #3.
    4. ( 6, 2, 0 ) 3: 3 litres from #3 into #1.
    5. ( 6, 0, 2 ) 4: 2 litres from #2 into #3.
    6. ( 1, 5, 2 ) 5: 5 litres from #1 into #2.
    7. ( 1, 4, 3 ) 6: 1 litres from #2 into #3.
    8. ( 4, 4, 0 ) 7: 3 litres from #3 into #1.
DONE!

Hope you enjoyed the puzzle.
