Question

How do you place 27 apples into 4 corners, using only odd numbers? By the way, there are no halves.

Answer 1

we can't use halves, but we can use thirds!

1st corner: 23 apples

2nd corner: 1+1/3

3rd corner:  1+1/3

4th corner:  1+1/3

Answer 2

well, 8 in one corner, 7 in the other three

You didnt say it had to be even numbers

Answer 3

5 -> 6 -> 7 -> 9

Odd as in different numbers for every corner.

Like, "that's odd".

  

Answer 4

I don't think you can do it and please if you have the answer e mail me here and tell me coz i want to know if it possible

Answer 5

Twenty-seven apples into four piles consisting of only odd numbers of apples? Never gonna happen:

An odd number plus an odd number will always add up to an even number.

An even number plus an even number will always add up to an even number.

If corner A has an odd number and corner B has an odd number, the total will be an even number. Let's call that ABtotal.

If corner C has an odd number and corner D has an odd number, the total will be an even number. Let's call that CDtotal.

ABtotal (an even number) plus CDtotal (an even number) add up to an even number, which 27, an odd number, can never be.  

Answer 6

1/7 in 3 corners, and the rest in the 4th corner.
