 		[Puzzle] Red-#021-Divide By Three
Here is another new one:

Quote:
I was in a pretty dire situation last week- it was about 4am, only Justin and Tone were still awake, and the party was well and truly winding down. Even worse, all the drink had run out. the only stuff we could find was in a room where someone had poured 7 full glasses of wine, and 7 half glasses. Justin was just about to pour them into each other so we could just split them three ways when I stopped him.

"Justin", I said aghast, "what the hell are you doing? That's vintage Harbin wine there, you can't mix them, it'd ruin the taste!"
"So what should we do then, puzzle boy?" challenged Tone, equally aghast. I ignored him and continued, "Look guys, there's an easy way of splitting these 14 glasses three ways without any pouring. Let me show you..."
How did I do it?

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
well 7 + 3.5 = 10.5
10.5 divided by 3 = 3.5
they each drink 3 and a half glasses of wine
nice and easy

 		Depending on the format required, the answer could be

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
2 full plus 3 half; 2 full plus 3 half; 3 full plus 1 half


or something similar

 		It asks you how many full glasses and how many half glasses everyone drank. Its really simple this one.

 		you have to use the 14 glasses.

ie:
2 full + 3 half
2 full + 3 half
3 full + 1 half

that's it!.

 		Spoiler tags, everyone.

Also, zoltan, I have no idea. I was wondering about that too.

Finally, has anyone noticed an odd bit of shiny ink underneath the rightmost character's eye? Perhaps it's just a defect on my card but that could be a hidden message or something, right? Very Happy
