  4. Justin’s Pills Justin was prescribed to take two pills (tablets), one each, from two bottles, Bottle A and Bottle B, daily. The tablets from Bottle A and Bottle B are identical. One fine day, Justin popped out one pill from Bottle A, but while taking the tablet from bottle B, by mistake, two tablets spilled over. Justin somehow has to ensure that he takes exactly one pill from each of the bottles, and he must avoid wasting any additional pills.
