Puzzle 129 - Matches
There are three piles of match sticks with 11 matches, 6 matches and 7 matches in them. Now you need to move the matches from one to another such that all of them have 8 matches each.
But there is a condition - the condition is that you can add as many matches to a pile as it contains. For example if a pile has 3 matches, you can add only 3 matches to it - no more, no less.
You are allowed three moves.
How will you move the matches?
