I don't see how this can be done, because when any two odd numbers are added together, the sum is even. If the first two cups each have an odd number the remainder will be 10 - (an even number). Any even number - an even number will equal an even number. Therefore this is not possible.

There are 40 yellow marbles and blue marbles in a bag there are four times as many blue marbles as yellow marbles how many yellow and blue marbles are there?
