Assuming that all bottles are of equal capacity AND that we have adequate means to measure exactly half bottle:
7 full bottles are equivalent to 14 half bottles. Thus, we have total 21 half-bottles of juice. Hence, an equal distribution among 3 people requires each person getting 7 half-bottles of juice. From the 7 full bottles. transfer half the quantity to each empty bottle, thereby leaving the 7 earlier-full bottles half-full and 7 earlier-empty ones also half-full, plus 7 which are already half-full. Give each set of 7 to each person. Distribution completed.

Run till 2.5 km with existing tyres. Then replace one of the tyres, say rear one, with the spare one. Run the next 2.5 km. By this time, the front tyre (which was not replaced) would be worn out. Now replace that tyre with the old rear tyre (used for first 2.5 km). Now,both the tyres have 2.5 km life remaining, thereby giving a total of 7.5 km.

Since 7 runs are required to win, the maximum runs that can be scored to win is 12. Max. scoring possibilities can be as follows:
- The batsman on strike hits 2 consecutive sixes. With the first one, he completes his century. With the next, match over and the striker has the maximum possible individual score of 106, leaving the non-striker on 94 itself.
- The striker scores 3 off the first ball, giving strike to the non-striker. He, in turn, returns the favour by scoring another 3 off the next ball and bringing the other batsman back on strike. With scores level, the striker hits a six off the last ball, taking his tally to 103 and the other non-striker remains on 97.
- The striker hits a four off the first ball and takes a single off the next, taking his score to 99 and bringing the other batsman on strike. The new striker scores a six off the last ball, reaching his century, and winning the match for the team. Thus, both batsmen get the maximum possible runs for themselves, but the maximum possible total runs is not reached.
(Assumed that the bowler bowls no no-balls / wides in between.)

A few months back, I saw the same question somewhere else. Had it been just one day ago, I could have said that I saw it YESTERDAY and hence I can give the answer TODAY without postponing to TOMORROW. 🙂

Answer – The discount being offered comes to approx. 19%
Applying Mathematics only and not considering other factors such as additional time and energy required for manufacturing the larger piece AND assuming that both the 10″ and 12″ variants differ in diameter only, the 12″ one is 44% larger than the 10″ one, which means that it can be priced at 8.63$ (rounded off). By pricing it at 6.99, the discount being offered comes to approx. 19%.
Quantity-wise: I am getting 44% extra qty at 0.91$ which translates to 0.91 / 5.99 => 15.19% extra cost: Seems a good deal.

If you asked about the white house, it’s in the middle of the red and blue ones. But if the question were “Where is the White House”, I’d say it’s at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., The USA. 🙂
