If you start with an amount Q and make n withdrawals (n > 2) then the Sum of the balances – Q = sigma i=3 to n (i-2) x n(i) – n1. In other words for 5 withdrawals n1 through n5 you can always balance the 2 columns provided the following holds:<br /> <br />n3 + 2 X n4 + 3 X n5 = n1<br /> <br />For 10 withdrawals from 300 try these numbers:<br /> <br />220,20,10,10,10,10,8,6,4,2<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-48619942946063791022013-01-02T20:52:37.515+05:302013-01-02T20:52:37.515+05:30Added incorrectly Added incorrectly Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-3024279672278903092012-06-06T12:48:54.582+05:302012-06-06T12:48:54.582+05:30there is big jhol in this problem:pthere is big jhol in this problem:pAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2893315201359920156.post-2570025311489931572012-05-14T15:33:08.210+05:302012-05-14T15:33:08.210+05:30It could have been worse.
