One fine day they are joined by another puzzle genius Prasanna. All of there start solving puzzles and 3 hours get passed. All of them feel hungry as it was lunchtime. As for Rakesh and Ashish, this was a regular puzzle meet, they always come with their lunch boxes. However, Prasanna has not brought anything to eat. So both Rakesh and Ashish decide to share their lunch with Prasanna. Rakesh was having 5 Rotis and Ashish was having 3 Rotis. How can they share equally with each other?

Solving this puzzle was not a big deal for these three puzzle genius. They decided to split each Roti into 3 parts to make in total 24 parts and then each has its share of 8 parts. At the end of this puzzle meet. Prasanna said that he is very happy that both of them have shared their lunch with him. He decided to give 8 Gold coins in total to both of them and left. Now once Prasanna left, now the bigger question is how to divide these 8 Gold Coins among them. Ashish said that it should be equally divided as 4-4. However, Rakesh said that he was having 5 Rotis and Ashish was having 3 Rotis. So it should be split as 5-3. They were not able to solve this Coins Puzzle and decided to take the help of the temple Priest 'Amit Swamy'.
Amit is a wise and spiritual man. He listened to their story carefully and thought about it for some time. In the end, he came up with his logical conclusion and decide to split it into 7 and 1 coins with 7 parts being given to Rakesh and 1 part being given to Ashish. This surprised both of them.
