    Maths Week 2015 was held for 5th and 6th grade students. The solution describes how to determine what items are in two cans labeled "Milk Shake", "Potato Chips", and "Water" by shaking the cans and listening for rattling. If the "Milk Shake" can rattles, it contains potato chips and the water is in the "Potato Chips" can. If it does not rattle, the water is in the "Milk Shake" can. The same process is used to deduce the contents if the "Water" can is shaken instead.

    SOLUTION #4


    You should shake either the can labelled MILK SHAKE or the can labelled
    WATER. The potato chips must be in one of those cans, and they should rattle.
    Suppose you shake the MILK SHAKE can; if it rattles it contains the chips; the
    water must be in the can labelled POTATO CHIPS. If it doesnt rattle, it must
    contain the water.
    Meanwhile if you shake the WATER can and it rattles, the chips must be in it; so
    the milk shake must be in the can labelled POTATO CHIPS, which means the
    water, must be in the MILK SHAKE can. I fit doesnt rattle, the water must be in
    the can labelled POTATO CHIPS.
