A Brain Teaser...

...that I can get! Today Vivek posts in the Brain Teasers forum a puzzle that I can not only understand, but also solve.

A farmer on his death-bed, wants to divide his 25 cows between his five sons... But it is not that easy that you think, as every cow has a number-tag, and most surprisingly, every cow gives litres of milk daily, as the number written on its tag...

I mean the cow bearing number 12 tag, gives 12 litres of milk daily and the cow bearing number 23 tag, gives 23 litres of milk daily, or so on... Now can you people help the farmer dividing the cows between the sons so that every son gets five cows with equal quantity of milk daily...


This is a good "mind expanding puzzle," but for those of you who want to cheat the answer lies inside Orkut.

Note: For those who enjoy these puzzles, Priyanka is offering even more brain teasers via pdf format.

This is like a cross word. Can give any of the row/colum numbered cows.
