A problem to be solved
A problem to be solved
Ok, so if you've seen The Die hard with Samuel L. Jackson and Jeremy Irons, then you know this, and I dunno if we've had it before, but it's a fun, and fairly easy, problem to figure out.
You have a 3 gallon pitcher and a 5 gallon pitcher with an endless supply of water. How would you get exactly 4 gallons?

no it can be done with just the 2 pitchers.
fill the 5 gallon pitcher full of water, then use that pitcher to fill the 3 gallon pitcher. that leaves 2 gallons in the 5 gallon pitcher. As they say, rinse, reuse and repeat.

I rode a tank and held a generals rank,
When the blitzkrieg raged and the bodies stank.
I shouted out 'Who killed the Kennedys?'
When after all it was you and me.
Let me please introduce myself, Im a man of wealth and taste.
And I laid traps for troubadours who get killed before they reached bombay.
Pleased to meet you hope you guessed my name.
But whats puzzling you is the nature of my game.
