Number segments from 1-7.
Break the bar into small bars b1,b2 & b3 of size 2,2 and 3 respectively.
day1 segment 1 of b1 (bar b1 is broken once)
day2 segment 2 of b1
day3 segment 1 of b2 (bar b2 is broken once)
day4 segment 2 of b2
day5 segment 1 of b3 (bar b3 is broken 1st time)
day6 segment 2 of b3 (bar b3 is broken 2nd time)
day7 segment 3 of b3.
Thus giving segments with the condition of breaking only two times.
