    Are you Good in Calculating!!!! If so Try this (2)

    Totally 10 bags and 1000 one rupee coin is there.

    u fill 1000 one rupee coin to the 10 bags...

    The Condition is....

    After u fill the coin it is closed....

    I ask any one of the number between 1 to 1000...

    u show the total using the bags.......(ie...count the coin in ur bags)

    For example....

    u fill 100 coin for each bag....

    if i am ask 700 then u show using 7 bags...(7*100=700)

    but if i am ask 650 then how u show...? it is not possible...

    So this is the problem... u will show all the numbers between 1 to 1000

    if u have any clarification then reply to me....

    it is not a funny puzzle..... i have a answer.....

    Suresh,

    Here is the answer for ur question,

    distribute the coins in 10 bags as follows,

    1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,489

    with the above set of ten bags you can get any number of coins between 0 to 1000.

    PS: Any interger can be written as sum of 2 powers.
