RE: yet another "figure it out" thread
Why not just put the 3 gallon container in the 5 gallon container, fill the 5 gallon one up with water and remove the 3 gallon one whichgives you 2 gallons in the 5 gallon, pour that into the 3 gallon and repeat the process. that will give you 2 gallons in each one so you dont hurt yourself carrying it, because you know if they were going to kill you over 4 gallons of water, they are gonna make you carry it!

ORIGINAL: WakeCow fill 3 gallon empty into 5 gallon fill 3 gallon empty into 5 gallon 1 gallon left in 3 gallon container empty 5 gallon put the 1 gallon in the 5 gallon fill 3 gallon and put in the 5 gallon container I believe 4 gallons is should be in there. That works for me too, it shows there is more than one way to do it. Bob |

You know, it's odd that everyone can figure out how to do it both of the hard ways but can't the easy way if the containers were symmetrical. *shrugs |
RE: yet another "figure it out" thread
fill the 3gal up, pour it into the 5 gal, fill up the 3ga again, and fill up the 5gal exactly to the top, leaving 1 gal in the 3 gal, dump out the 5 gal, then pour the 1 gal into the 5 gal, fill up the gal again and pour in 3 more gals into the 5gal, leaving exactly 4 gallons!
I saw die hard with avengence......:) |
RE: yet another "figure it out" thread
I would fill the the 3 gallon jug, then fill the 5 gallon jug half full. I would proceed to drink the contents of the five gallon jug and wait 15 minutes. When I could no longer hold the 2 and 1/2 gallons in my bladder I would release it but stop it before exit. Knowing my anatomy that would be exactly one gallon. Pour the three in the five and add the one, problem solved.

RE: yet another "figure it out" thread
Ok If they are symmetrical I would measure how high the 3 gallon goes on the 5 gallon and make a mark leaving 3 gallons below the mark and 2 gallons above the mark. Then I would place then 3 gallon on the line a mark where the top of the 5 gallon is on the 3 gallon then i would ill up the 3 gallon up to the line twice and dump it in the 5 gallon. And presto! 4 gallons*Note this only works if they are both as deep and as wide.* :D what do i win?

RE: yet another "figure it out" thread
I would toss the 3 gal jug anduse the 5 gal jug, using4 quarters, putting them in one at a time. If you putall four inat once you will get five gallons (at least around here) and that won't work!...[8D]
Good job guys, I figured it out....but had to get a pencil and paper..[&:] |

RE: yet another "figure it out" thread
Fill the 5 gallon container. Start drinking from it. Knowing my bladder is going to hold about a gallon before I have to go Wee Wee, when I have to go, we got 4 gallons.:):)
