Riddle/Question FUN! Pills

[bleuiko]

You are on a strict medical regimen that requires you to take two types of pills each day. You must take exactly one A pill and exactly one B pill at the same time. The pills are very expensive, and you don't want to waste any. So you open the bottle of A pills, and tap one out into your hand. Then you open the bottle of B pills and do the same thing -- but you make a mistake, and two B pills come out into your hand with the A pill. But the pills are all exactly identical. There is no way to tell A pills apart from B pills. How can you satisfy your regimen and take exactly one of each pill at the same time, without wasting any pills?

Answers will come later.

take on of the B pills out of your hand and put it back in B bottle. Just because it looks alike doesn't mean you didn't see and feel which one it was.

Nope, assume they are all exactly identical and you closed your palm so the pills are now mixed.

 

[jcovercash]

Weigh them.

And no, they are different drugs, just same feel, weight, as far as you can tell.

Word.
Keep the three you did have until the end.
One bottle will run out first, you can work out which type the extra pill was, and then figure out from there :Q

You don't want to waste anything. Why? I don't know. You just don't want to.

Answer after I get 2 more replies.

You already know it was a B pill.

 

[dullard]

The pills are exactly identical. So just take any two pills. It doesn't matter. A and B are exactly the same medication.

 

[OdiN]

Ask your doctor which one is which.

Take one more of pill A from the A bottle. You then have two of each pill in your hand. You are to take two of each pill each day so you take the entire days worth of dosage at once.

Reread and it doesn't say that you take two of each pill per day. So this probably isn't right.

Very simple then. I'd analyze the chemical structure of them to find out what they are.

Then they are not exactly the same. And they can be easilly identified with a little equipment.

Hey you said you'd answer it after two more replies, answer!

ANSWER IS HERE:

Cut up the three pills (AA BB BB) and take half of each (A B B). Cut up another A pill (AA) and add it to the half (A B B + A). You now have a full set of each one (AA BB) which you take today. Tomorrow, you take the remainder (A B B + A). None wasted. And the third day you learn the lesson of not tapping into the same hand.

very simple math from here you have 2 bs and an a, you add an a and you have 2a's and 2b's,
2/2=1/1!
huh? huh? yup, i thought so. where's my prize?
