Seven dwarfs are sitting at a round table.
Each has a cup, and some cups contain milk.
Each dwarf in turn pours all his milk into the other six cups, dividing it equally among them.

After the seventh dwarf has done this, they find that each cup again contains its initial quantity of milk.

How much milk does each cup contain, if there were 42 ounces of milk altogether?
