Before leaving, he wants to test whether his friend Captain Haddock is wise enough. So he places three boxes A, B, C contain initially 0, 0, 27 balls respectively. He tells that he wants equality among the boxes, and at every `i^(th)` move you make, you must transfer exactly i balls from one box to another. And you cannot transfer balls between A and B. How many minimum steps (If possible) will Captain take to get to equal number of balls in each box?
