You call that a riddle? That was just bad math!
Math riddles are annoying
"Is it possible for one infinite number to be greater than another infinite number? Prove your answer"
"Measure 2 gallons exactly using a 5 gallon jar and a 3 gallon jar"
*"A woman has 7 children, but only half are boys. How is that possible?"
"Find the next number in the following numerical sequence"
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
Yes it is possible, with simple mathematics.
1.33333333333~ infinitely will be .1111111111~ infinitely larger than 1.22222222~ infinitely.
All her children are boys.
To measure out 2 gallons exactly, fill the 5 gallon jug twice with the 3 gallon jug, using the left over water in the 3 gallon jug after filling up the 5 gallon jug will equal 1 gallon so doing it twice will give you 2 gallons.
