I'm assuming these are beakers and you can only accurately judge them when they are filled till the mark. I wonder if you're allowed to mark them yourself? That would eliminate a lot of steps. |

Fill the 9.
Pour from 9 to 4.
Empty 4.
Pour from 9 to 4.
Empty 4.
Pour from 9 to 4 (only 1 oz. left).
Fill the 9.
Pour from 9 to 4. The 4 already has 1 oz. in it, so you'll pour off 3 oz., leaving 6 in the larger pitcher.

In an episode of the 1950's Adventures Of Superman, Jimmy Olsen revealed his favorite baseball team. What was the team?
(Hint:It's a real team, not a made up Metropolis team)

Must be from that classic episode from the 1950's Adventures Of Superman where Professor Pepperwinkle transported Jimmy in to the future and he saw that a baseball team now existed in Canada. Became his favorite right away. Or am I just hallucinating about that episode? Needs to look further through the rainbow |

RAY: This puzzler was sent in by Frank Juskolka. Frank writes: You have a four-ounce glass and a nine-ounce glass. You have an endless supply of water. You can fill or dump either glass. TOM: Do you have a plastic bag in your pocket? No. Okay. Just checking. RAY: It turns out, you can measure six ounces of water using these two glasses. The question is: 1. How many steps are involved; and B. What's the smallest number of steps in which you can measure six ounces? The official answer: RAY: Start with both glasses empty. Step one, you fill the nine-ounce glass. Step two, you pour four ounces from the nine-ounce glass into the four-ounce glass because that's all you can do. Step three, you dump out the four-ounce glass. Now you’ve got five ounces left in the big glass. Step four, again you fill the four-ounce glass from the nine ounce glass. And step five, again dump the four-ounce glass. So now the four-ounce glass is empty, and you’ve got one ounce in the nine-ounce glass. Step six, pour the one ounce of water from the nine-ounce glass into the four-ounce glass. Step seven, fill the nine-ounce glass. TOM: OK. So at the moment here you've got a full nine-ounce glass, and you have one ounce in the four ounce glass. RAY: So now you pour just enough water from the nine ounce glass to fill the four ounce glass. Which means you're pouring how much out of the nine-ounce glass? TOM: Three ounces. RAY: Right, and that leaves how many ounces in the nine ounce glass? TOM: Six! And this week's Puzzler: RAY: A chicken and a half can lay an egg and a half in a day and a half. TOM: I want to see that half egg! RAY: I want to see that half chicken! The question is very simple: How long will it take two chickens to lay thirty-two eggs? |

for 1.5 chickens the laying rate is: 1.5 eggs/1.5 days = 1 egg/day
so for 1 chicken the rate is: (1/1.5) eggs/day = 2/3 eggs/day
so for 2 chickens the rate is: (4/3) eggs/day
so two chickens should take (32 eggs)/(4/3 eggs/day) = 96/4 = 24 days to produce the 32 eggs
