Well, I stumbled upon this thread and remembered we never resolved it to the end. I tried redoing and for now I have everything up to 3300 and I also have 3500 (and of course, the 10000's complement of all of these ).
EDIT: I now everything except 3400, 3600 and their complements.
]]>Everything falls to the water now. An older friend of mine just noticed that I used the weights as if they were bags of flour!
I will tomorrow try to redo everything!
]]>Do you use Codecogs like it was recommended to you many times before?
]]>That is excellent! I was hoping it would come to that. Well done for your persistence!
Now let's take a break from flour.
I have been typing the non calculator quadratic thing. It's been a struggle of multiple {{{
I hope it is worth it.

]]>We divide a 10kg sack into 5000g. Yhen we take one of those 5000 g bags and treat it as it were a 10kg bag i.e. we takw flour from it now.
We do the method for 1100 (900) thus getting in the 5000 g bag a remainder of 3900 (4100) g.
The probability of the costumer being served is 100%. Now that is a good deal!
Two notes:
1) The two methods-for 1100 and for 900-both take 2 measurings.
2)We put back any flour not in the 900 (1100) g bag back into the 5000g bag.
]]>Change the last line of the method for 4400 to:
For 4200 we just take a 300 instead of the 200 in the new last line.
]]>You could do this bit yourself you know!
arhhrr! But then, who is going to tell you how impressive that is!
Bob
]]>Now we add 2000 and 2500 to get 4500.
]]>Bob
]]>And as we know: 4800=2500+2300.
