Leadership

[Gregory Matthews]

Leadership:  People in positions of leadership are often placed in positions where there seemingly is no practical solution.   The resolution of the following problem will provide you with an example of a thought process that sometimes will lead to a solution to impossible problems.  You have been given three (3) cups, A, B and C.  Your task will be to place a total of10 coins in the three cups so that each cup contains an odd number of coins.  NOTE:  The answer will be provided later in this thread.

Here is the answer:

Step 1:  Place 7 coins in A, 2 coins in B and one coin in C.

Step 2: Place Cup C in Cup B

Cup A now has 7 coins, Cup B has 3 coins and Cup C has 1 coin.  You have successfully placed 10 coins in three cups with each cup holding an odd number of coins.
