Abstract
A man who was the owner of a winery died. In his will, he choose/chose to leave 21 barrels (showed/shown in the figure below) between his three sons. Seven of the barrels are filled with wine, seven are half full, and seven are empty. However he set/setted a series of rules: the wine and barrels must be split/splitted so that each son has the same number of full barrels, the same number of half-full barrels, and the same number of empty barrels. Note that there are no measuring devices. How can the barrels and wine be evenly divided?
