what is the proper way to split this?

[OS44]

if 2 people are to split a drink and there is one drink and 2 glasses, in order to be fair, one pours and the other chooses

so now, how to do it for three people? using only the drink, and 3 glasses (no measuring cup etc)

and how to do it for n number of people? using only the drink, and n glasses (no measuring cup etc)

you ask mommy for another $1 so you can buy your own slurpee. problem solved.

Get a measuring cup.

Volume of fluid each receives = Total fluid / n

[input]

If there's one drink and you have to split the drink between 3 people, then each person gets 1/3 of the drink. Therefore, 1/3 x the volume of the drink would be divided among the three people.

For the variable of "n" number of people, it would be 1/n each person would get.

Correct?

So now you do the math

[Ojam]

You let your dad pour it for your mom, and you don't get any.

Did you edit the question? If you have no measuring cup, you could visually tell if its 1/2 or 1/3 or 1/n. Although, its not accurate.

what happens if two girls want to split a drink and there is only one cup? how should they split the drink? i believe there is an instructional video.

at least his answers are far more entertaining to read than the threads you create.

honestly is this even a real question? what's next - how to cut a pizza so that everyone gets an equal slice :confused:

2 Girls 1 Cup

+1.

You could also do it by weight.

A more interesting (possibly unsolvable) is if there were only n-1 cups and you had to use the original drink holder as the nth container.
