Fill the 3 gallon jug full once and dump it all into the 5 gallon jug. Then fill the 3 gallon jug only 1/3 of the way full and dump that into the 5 gallon jug. Not exact math but it should come out pretty close.

So you watched that Die Hard movie eh?:) Fill the 3 gallon jug. Pour it into the 5 gallon jug. Now the 5 gallon jug has 3 gallons of water, 2 gallons available. Fill the 3 gallon jug. Pour the water from the 3 gallon into the 5 gallon until it's full. You now have a full 5 gallon jug and a 3 gallon jug with 1 gallon. Empty the 5 gallon jug. Pour the 1 gallon from the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug. Fill up the 3 gallon jug, pour it into the 5 gallon jug. You now have 4 gallons.

Avallach has got it, but there's another method too. 1. Fill the 3 gallon jug, pour it in the 5 gallon jug. 2. Fill the 3 gallon jug again, and pour it in the 5 gallon jug, leaving 1 gallon in the 3 gallon jug. 3. Pour out the 5 gallon jug, and pour the 1 gallon from the small jug into the big jug. 4. Now fill the 3 gallon jug and pour it into the big jug and you've got 4 gallons!

Fill the 5 gallon jug from the tap, then fill the 3 gallon jug with the water from the 5 gallon jug. This'll leave you with exactly 2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. Pour away the water in the 3 gallon jug and empty the 5 gallon jug into the 3 gallon jug. This'll leave you with exactly 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug. Fill the 5 gallon jug from the tap, then top up the 3 gallon jug from the 5 gallon jug. This'll leave you with a full 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug with exactly 4 gallons in it.

fill 3, pour into 5. Fill 3 againm, pour into 5 until 5 is full (so you have 1 litre in the bottom of the 3). Empty the 5, pour the 1 litre into the 5, and then fill the 3 pour into the 5 and you'll have 4.

I guess if you want it exact, the question should be asked. What exactly constitutes as full? To the top of the neck or the top of the mouth?

Fill the 5 gallon jug, pour it into the 3 gallon jug. There left 2 gallons in the 5gallon jug, empty the 3 gallon jug. Pour over the 2 gallons into the 3 gallon jug, and fill the 5 gallon jug. There left 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug, and pour 1 gallon from the 5 gallon jug. Wallah!! You now have a 4 gallons in the 5 gallon jug. Congratulations.

First thing you do is go to the Quickiemart and buy a 1 gallon jug of milk. Then you drink the milk, cause milk does a body good. Then you fill the 1 gallon jug and empty it three times into the 5 gallon jug. By that time, the milk should have worked it way thru your system and you can relieve yourself in the 5 gallon jug giving you exactly 4 gallons.

Pour the water in the 5 gallon and pour 3 gallons in to the 3 gallon bottle. Two gallons left, right? Then do it again and you have four gallons.

Fill the 5 gallon bottle until it reaches the 4 gallon mark on the side of the bottle.

First fill up the 5 Gal container. Then carefully pour the contents into the 3 Gal container. This leaves 2 Gals in the 5 Gal. container. Mark the level of the liquid in the 5 Gal container. Mark the level that is twice that height in the 5 Gal container, pour the contents of the 3 gal container to the line. This should be 4 Gals.

I fill the bottle of 5 gallon to pour it into that of 3 gallon bottle. Which will be in as a remnant in that of 5 gallon equals to 2. After gaining the half of 4 it is to be assumed-not estimated-the half way of the solution!

There is another way to do this (I like BigDaddy's method too) and that's to... 1. Fill the 5 gallon bottle 2. Pour out 3 gallons into the 3 gallon bottle (leaving 2). 3. Empty out the 3 gallons bottle 4. Pour the remaining contents of the 5 gallon bottle (2 gallons) into the 3 gallon container 5. Fill up the 5 gallon bottle again 6. Pour one gallon into the 3 gallon bottle (which is all that will fit since the 3 gallon bottle is already filled with 2 gallons of water) That leaves 4 gallons in the 5 gallon bottle

Fill the 3 gallon bucket, pour the contents into the 5 gallon bucket. Refill the 3 gallon bucket and pour water into the 5 gallon bucket until it is full. Empty the 5 gallon bucket and pour the remaining gallon from the 3 gallon in the 5 gallon, then fill the 3 gallon and add it to the 1 in the 5 gallon

*Fill both buckets up halfway *pour contents of 3 gallon bucket (1.5 gallons) into 5 gallon bucket (which already contains 2.5 gallons) 1/2 of 5 gallon bucket = 2.5 gallons 1/2 of 3 gallon bucket = 1.5 gallons 2.5 gallons + 1.5 gallons ------------- 4.0 gallons

1. Fill the 3 gallon bucket and pour it into the five gal bucket. 2. Fill the 3 gallon bucket again and pour water from the 3 gallon bucket into the partially full 5 gallon bucket filling it to the top. There is now exactly 1 gallon left in the three gallon bucket. 3. Empty the 5 gallon bucket and pour the contents from the 3 gallon bucket (one gallon) into the 5 gallon bucket. 4. Fill the 3 gallon bucket and pour it into the 5 gallon bucket. The 5 gallon bucket now has exactly 4 gallons in it.

1. Fill the 3 gallon jug with water from a constant source. Time how long it takes. Then fill the 5 gallon jug from the same constant water source for 1 1/3 times the period it took to fill the 3 gallon bottle. 2. Using the cap off of one of the jugs, measure water into the 3 gallon jug until it is full. Then fill the 5 gallon jug with 1 1/3 times the number of capfuls it took to fill the 3 gallon jug. 3. Use bottled water, available at most grocery stores by the gallon, as the source to fill the 5 gallon jug with 4 gallons of water. 4. Use bottled water, available from most grocery stores in a variety of different sizes, to add 512 ounces of water to the 5 gallon bottle. 5. Put the 5 gallon jug on a scale and add 32 pounds of water. 6. Double your requirements for water, fill both bottles, and call it a day. 7. If both jugs weigh the same, fill them both with water, freeze them, and put them on a balance scale. Chip ice out of the 5 gallon jug and pile it on with the 3 gallon jug until the scale is balanced. Let the water in the 5 gallon jug melt.
