Is this riddle true?

are you sure you worded this correctly?

worded differently it could be:

you have 12 sugar cubes, you want to put an odd number into 3 cups, how is this possible?

Answer,

you put 3 in each cup, no one said you had to use them all.

after your reply i googled it and found this


Q: Divide 14 sugar cubes into 3 cups of coffee so that each cup has an odd number of sugar cubes.
A: 1,1,12
Riposte: 12 isn't odd!
A: It's an odd number of cubes to put in a cup of coffee!

but i cann't understand the meaning...

12 sugar cubes would be considered by most people to be a pretty odd number to put in one cup of coffee

Not odd as in opposite of even, odd as in peculiar

lol

Well, if you put one of the cups into another cup, then put 9 in it and 3 in the other, that would do it. Don't know if that's cheating, though.
