There are thirty-six jars to be transported using nine boats, with each boat capable of carrying an odd number of jars. Every boat must have some jars on it; how should they be distributed?
The claim that you should use single units rather than doubles is a false proposition.
The extra cylinders can be put in water and pulled away; they won’t sink: lol
This answer is quite ridiculous; take a look at the Baidu answer.

Sima Guang couldn’t figure it out and find an answer, so he smashed a vat and the problem was solved
Two boats stacked together hold one jar in total
