Ditto H4T... :/

I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the form thinking you're entering null values.... I tried entering "0 " (that's 0 then a space) instead of "0" (for example) for each value and it started working for me.

Try it!

Same problem here.

I can't try the space trick until tomorrow!

Perplexcity have confirmed to me in an e-mail that there is currently a bug where it does not notice a single zero as an entry. They are trying to fix it. I'll see if zero plus space works for the moment when I get home this evening.

[Hunting4Treasure]

YES!!! The space (after all of them to be safe) works! Whew!

[Riiick]

It seems to accept 0 as an answer now (it doesn't complain that you haven't entered all the values anymore). Now it just tells you the answer is incorrect. Entering it with a space after the 0 gives you the solve.

Yup, still wasn't working for me again yesterday with any combination that includes the number zero. I thought maybe it was my browser being weird so I've now tried it in both Firefox and IE but get it saying I haven't filled in all the answers in both, seemingly regardless of number order (since 0,4,2,3,1 or any other combination would be just as valid as 0,1,2,3,4).

When I did this one, I just typed in

The answer they give is 4 pills from jar A, 3 pills from jar C, 2 pills from jar B and 1 pill from jar A which makes 10 pills but the question asked is "...using the least number of pills..."

Well you can do it with 1 pill.

The question states that "All the pills are shaped identically"
However they do NOT state that they are the same size (i.e. a 1p coin is the same SHAPE as a 10p coin but a different SIZE). The 9g pills maybe the same shape but must be 10% smaller in size than the 10g pills. They also state that the jars were "five full jars of pills". Therefore the smaller size pill (which may not be apparent to the naked eye) should fit more pills into a jar. So therefore :- Count all the pills in each jar. The jar with most pills in it must be full of the 9g pills - take just 1 of these to be weighed to confirm that it is indeed 9g.

Answer = 1 pill.

1 pill would only work if you happened to weigh the pill that was lighter.

To guarantee to find the lighter weighted pills requires the given and correct solve.

And additionally there is no reason that lighter pills need be smaller. They could just be bulked out with extra filler.

Speaking as a pharmaceutically involved person, generally a large portion of pills are not the active ingredients. They are actually various fillers, binding agents and disintegrants, therefore it would be very easy to make pills the same size but different weights.

In the case of capsule-like pills which from the illustration these may be, then this is not even an issue as they don't all have to be filled to the same extent.

(Most of the above is an aside!)

Any idea whose trademark this is?
