This statement should probably have been how you introduced the prior
post instead of presenting something that read like a request for someone
to implement something based on your new description.
Your immediately prior post:

"If the feed is given in the next day..." is a non-issue, as the
original problem description (shown here)...

... explicitly states that the total amount must be provided within a
single day.
Since you didn't provide your implementation (or even just the
resultant feeding pattern), I can not determine exactly what you are doing
with regards to your "average" -- however, it seems to me that your
"average" distribution "in the third and fourth feed" fails both the "rest
of the day" and "try to keep the distribution similar..." requirements. It
is a given that you have to account for the 40 units that were not provided
in the second hour. It sounds very much like you are dumping them at 20&20
on the 3rd&4th hours, so your pattern (with the "error" feed now looks like
150 60 50 50 30 20 20 10
5 5
A proportional solution would result in the full pattern looking (ignoring
round-off errors)
150 60 38 38 38 25 25 13
6 6
(round-off means you have to account for 1 more unit -- I'd probably put it
on the first 38 hour, but that's only because I hand worked the proportions
on a calculator. A "proper" algorithm should probably be tracking the error
amounts [difference between integer units and real proportion] to apply the
round-off at the nearest correct location).
