there is an old man who went to the Dr. , the Dr. gave him 5 different medicine to be taken each morning and each night so that would make them 10 tablets a day
he couldn't take any medicine twice or skip taking any one or he'll die !! so one day the man had the last ten tablets in the bottles and dropped them on the floor the all ten tablet have the same size same color same shape in short they r all identical so what can he do to separate the 5 morning tablets from the 5 evening tablets so that he won't take one medicine twice or skip one medicine !!!
 
it said he had the last ten tablets IN the bottles and dropped them on the floor. all he has to do is pick up the bottles, read the labels and
TA-DA he lives!!!!
 
The simple answer to this would be that he could use a balance scale to weigh them. He would have to place pills on the scale until he finds two that balance, remove one and add another and continue with this process: always making sure he left one of the original two which balanced; then when he has reached a total of five attempts, this will give him two piles of four pills each (four morning and four night. He then only has to take one of the last two remaining pills and balance it against one of the pills from either pile to determine what each of the last two pills must be.
 
Pick five to take in the morning and five to take at night if they are all identical then it shouldn't matter which are in the morning and which are in the night just as long as he doesn't skip any or take any twice.
