Hi, Given that u need to split 23 into 6 parts. Its all about placing "+" with 24 spots( wit 23 "1's" )(6 ,5...0). So, the answer is
Description : 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ...... 1 + + ........................+ 1. Sharing with just one means there is no "+" -> 24 C 0 2. Sharing with just two means there is 1 plus -> 24 C 1 Sigma (i=6 to 0) 24 C i PS : Pls check if 0 cases are included in higher numbers as well Thanks, Bala On Tue, Jun 22, 2010 at 7:52 AM, Aarthi Thangamani < aarthi.thangam...@gmail.com> wrote: > Given 23 chocolates and there are 7 kids.
