live hard play hard die hard free ride

[FizzPagan2000]

ok free riding with custard duck dire twm greezy and dagz somehow led to discussing the jugs of water maths problem from die hard with a vengeance. much confusion ensued and i tried to explain it but lag must have prevent ed it from coming through sensibly so here we go:

 

take the 3pint container and poor it into the 5pint.

fill the 3pint again and poor it into the 5pint - 1pint leftover.

empty the 5pint and poor the 1pint into the 5pint add another 3pints from the 3pint container to get your 4pints .

 

easy :)

I did hear you fizz but I was too tired to listen or care :rolleyes:

[EW]

ahhh shame i left just before this happened. darn it:cheeky:

[Reclusive Duck]

I'd agree except that I actually sat there quite interested while Fizz was explaining it....I think we're cracking up.

As I was going to St. Ives, / I met a man with seven wives. / Every wife had seven sacks, / Every sack had seven cats, / Every cat had seven kittens. / Kittens, cats, sacks, wives, / How many were going to St. Ives?

[hesonly5]

*107 :p

[EW]

one the wives didnt go. and therefore neither did the sacks or the cats.

 

i think im right

[hesonly5]

*gasp* Only 1 went to St Ives, nothing ever said anyone else was going :p

[ShadowGT]

Correct. You were the only one going to st Ives.

[hesonly5]

Hooray! Do I get a prize? :D

[Andreas¹]

I knew the answer to that one! *gasp*

Brb, I'll recalculate the problem on St Ives :p

[e] If everone was going... 345 I think xD Not including the sacks ;)

[Speedtouch]

Hey, I've been to St Ives (really!) - Actually a nice place. We stayed in Lelant though.

[Pherelas]

Ha silly riddles. Second one is rather simple as most riddles are 1.

[FizzPagan2000]

Is there not 2 Left over after you Pour 3 into 5?

 

 

sorry to disappoint you but 3+3=6

that's 1 pint more than 5... the 2nd line was filling the 5pint container for the 2nd time. read more carefully ;)

 

and finally here's the pic of when this all broke out lol

[Eudemon]

It all started because someone was going on about thier car and buying something and how work was annoying and I said Work hard, Play hard ....Die Hard. lol Then someone mentioned about the St Ives riddle and then another person couldn't understand the 4 gallon thing in DH WaV which Cabbage tried to explain but people were talking and lag interrupted that.

 

BTW I worked out why the film confuses everyone with their method:

 

Fill up the 5G and pour into the 3G container

Empty the 3G and pour the 2G remaining in the 5G into the 3G

Fill the 5G so you now have the 5G full and the 3G with 2G

Pour the 5G into the 3G

3G takes 1G filling it up making the 5G into 4G

 

Believe it or not it's actually one less step than the above that everyone thinks is easier! :D

[Pherelas]

Yer that makes sence, never be able to do that while disarming a bomb :) Where is that on the island?
