    Default This one really is easy.

    Okay, sorry about the eazy peazy one guys but this one may be more to your likings.

    Four delivery drivers have 24 milk cans between them to deliver. Each driver travels 120 kilometers to deliver the cans and each driver is paid $20 an hour. Each milk can is the same size and when full, has 50 litres of milk in it. There are 9 full milk cans and 10 half full milk cans and 5 empty milk cans.
    The drivers have to divide up the 24 milk cans so that each driver has equal number of milk cans on his truck and the same amount of milk to deliver. All the cans must be taken on the trucks and no milk must be poured from one milk can to another.
    How did the drivers divide up the 24 milk cans?

    By my figuring its:

    Driver 1 has 3 x full, 1 x half and 2 x empty = 3 1/2 of milk and six containers
    Driver 2 has 2 x full, 3 x half and 1 x empty = 3 1/2 of milk and six containers
    Driver 3 has 2 x full, 3 x half and 1 x empty = 3 1/2 of milk and six containers
    Driver 4 has 2 x full, 3 x half and 1 x empty = 3 1/2 of milk and six containers
