Mental Floss 376

The answer to last week’s challenge is: Q: A milkman has 2 empty jugs, a 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug. How van he measure exactly 1 gallon without wasting any milk?

A: The milkman fills the 3 gallon jug and then empties the contents into the 5 gallon jug. He then fills the 3 gallon jug again and continues to fill the 5 gallon jug until it’s full.  The milk remaining in the 3 gallon jug is exactly 1 gallon.

This week’s thinking challenge is …

Q: If you have me you want to share me. if you share me, you haven’t got me. What am I?

The answer along with a new challenge, next week.

Have a great weekend!
