i was looking through my old text books when i find this neat riddle i figured out long time ago...

and now... the hell i can't even remember how to do it.

riddle

you have 3 jars - one holds 10L, the second 5L and the third 3L. and water
(i also made a diagram for those slow 'i dont understand wth ure talking about' mofos)


your aim is to pour the water from jar to jar so you'll get this water pattern = 8L, 1L, 1L


you do not have any scales or measuring cups, just the jars with their specific capacity.
eg - you pour from the 10L jar into the 5 L jar.... so now your water patter will be :
5L 5L 0L - put the content of the second jar to the third your pattern will be:
5L 2L 3L

...etc etc

if ur thinking 'wth is this for anyway?' well just imagine you are trapped with 3 ugly women on an oonga boonga island, that u have to give one 8L, and the other two 1L each of water and all u have is those 3 jars and water. And you MUST give them the exact amount or else they'll go oonga boonga on u and so will the ugly men.

omg i will work this out this..i KNOW it..i did this before

[viedeluxe]

Fill the 5L so it's: 5, 5, 0
then fill the 3L so it's: 5, 2, 3
then take the 3L & pour it with the 5L so it's: 8, 2, 0
then pour some into the 3L just enough so the amount will level out & you have 8, 1, 1?

this isn't the solution but since i got the third cup to be 1 l. i wuld just use my hand and make pour away the water in the second cup till it is at the same level as the third

[vannushka]

I've thought of all those possiblities BUT you cant "measure" the 1L. i remember the one i did was similiar..but instead of 3L it was the 4L container.

oh oops^^; i thought the cup on the left held 8 L not 10

[ceevxwm]

i dont remeber it was confusing when i first did this

[mori]

actually i remember how to do this now. but ill let u guys try to figure it out first.

[~aZnPrInCeSs~]

ehh.....it requires thinking lol...
start is: 10, 0, 0 in the order of 10L, 5L, 3L
pour into the 3L so it's 7, 0, 3
pour from 3L to 5L so it's 7, 3, 0
pour from 10L to 3L so it's 4, 3, 3
pour from 3L to 5L until it's full so it's 4, 5, 1
pour from 5L to 10L so it's 9, 0, 1
pour from 3L to 5L so it's 9, 1, 0
