a question with an answer - a riddle

[sugardaddyken]

Here's one for you 

You have 5 Pill-bottles full of Viagra. Each Viagra weighs 10 gram, except for the Copy Viagra contained in one of the Pill-bottles, where each Viagra  weighs only  9 gm. Given a scale, how could you tell which Pill-bottle had the copy Viagra in it by making just one measurement on the scales

Clarification needed Sugar Daddy.

You mention "  the Copy Viagra contained in one of the Pill-bottles" suggesting there is just one  yet you go on to say "where each Viagra  weighs only  9 gm" suggesting there is more than one copy.

Each Pill Bottle contains ( for agreement sake ) say 50 Viagra.....that should keep Nookiebear going for at less a week

Is that Nok in your new avatar SDK?

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Depending on how many viagras there are in total, it would be possible to start providing CoCo with one a day, until one does not work. That might take some time though

Yes....

Sorry there is only 49 Viagra in Pill bottle One now

It's working !

[sugardaddyken]

Depending on how many viagras there are in total, it would be possible to start providing CoCo with one a day, until one does not work. That might take some time though

If you took one a day from each Pill bottle and gave it to CoCo to find out which one was the copy might work but not if your a Pharmacist and the labels have fallen off the pill bottles and your have a customer waiting 

Don't think "Sorry come back it 5 days " will cut it with your customer 

[Prakhonchai Nick]

It may be working CoCo - more importantly is it being put to the test?

[Prakhonchai Nick]

Whatever the answer SDK, thanks for the viagra reminder.

Packing now for the Cambodian adventure tomorrow!

So is mine 

Back to the riddle ...BUMP

You have 5 Pill-bottles full of Viagra. Each Viagra weighs 10 gram, except for the Copy Viagra contained in one of the Pill-bottles, where each Viagra  weighs only  9 gm. Given a scale, how could you tell which Pill-bottle had the copy Viagra in it by making just one measurement on the scales

[smithy99]

1. Mark the Pill bottles with numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
2. Take 1 Viagra from Pill Bottle 1, take 2 Viagra from 2, take 3 from 3, take 4 from 4 and take 5 Viagra from Pill Bottle 5.
3. Put all of them on the scale at once and take the measurement.
4. Now, subtract the measurement from 150 ( 1*10 + 2*10 + 3*10 + 4*10 + 5*10)
5. The result will give you the Pill bottle number which has copy Viagra in it

I Think 

Spot on Smithy69 99   ...,yes that was a stiff one     you do know your Viagra   

But are you smarter than a 10 year old and answer the Alan the Build Riddle though

[smithy99]

I think i know the answer of that one,its rather easy,however lets give the burirambuilder a chance to come up with the answer,i think hes taking a short break,we all know how bright builders are so we will wait and see.

[sugardaddyken]

OK...... another Viagra riddle whilst we're waiting for Burirambuilder

You have 8 Viagra. One of them is a copy ( a Dud  ) and weighs less ( 9 grams instead of 10 grams )than others but you have a balance to measure your Viagra against each other. In 2 weighings how do you find which Viagra is the copy one

[smithy99]

Weigh three Viagra against another three Viagra. If both weigh the same , then just weighing the remain two (one against one) this will show the Copy Viagra . If the sets of three do not weigh equal, then weigh any two Viagra in the lighter set, one against the other . The balance will show if the lighter one is on the balance,if not the remaining Viagra is the Copy one.

8= (3 + 3 ) + 2

(the numbers in the brackets are Viagra'a on either side of the balance)

if both are equal, then

2= (1 + 1) done.

else, from the lighter set of 3

3= (1 + 1) + 1 done.

[sugardaddyken]

Weigh three Viagra against another three Viagra'..............

You are the Riddle master Smithy99 

One last Viagra riddle and that's me done...

You are sitting at a bar and you've found a girl you like.In your pocket you have a bag of mixed generic Viagra,some red,some blue and some green but because they're not the real McCoy you have to take 2 to get the full effect ( as they aren't the real Pfizer Viagra,BTW..never mix your generic pill's  ). So the riddle is .....If you only have enough time to put your hand in your pocket one time  so as the Bar-Girls doesn't spot you taking your sexual booster how many Viagra must you grab to make sure you have 2 of the same colour...so as to ensure you get a Full Monty.

This should be easy to solve,even for a pi**ed up Monger sitting at at Bar
