All you guys out there - here is something to keep you refreshed.
Try to find a solution to these questions -
1. You are given two water jugs. But surprisingly there is no marking of any sort on them. You are told that the capacity of one of them is three litres while the other one is a four litre jug. Now what you have to do is take two litres of water in the three litre jug using the four litre jug. Its very simple.
2.Your second puzzle - Imagine a situation like this. There is one river. On one bank of the river there are three canniballs and three missionaries. There is a boat in the river that can carry a maximum of two people at a time.What you have to do is safely take the three missionaries to the other side of the river. But the condition is that at any given time the number of canniballs should not exceed the number of missionaries at any bank. But there is no problem if the reverse condition arises. Now its up to you to save those poor souls.
Enjoy and have fun.
