ReplyDeleteSolution 2:
ReplyDelete1.pour 5 litres from the 8-litre to the 5-litre bowl,
2.pour 3 litres from the 5-litre to the 3-litre bowl,
3.pour these 3 litres back to the 8-litre bowl,
4.pour the remaining 2 litres from the 5-litre to the 3-litre bowl,
5.pour 5 litres from the 8-litre to the 5-litre bowl,
6.pour the missing 1 litre from the 5-litre to the 3-litre bowl (there should be 4 litres left in the 5-litre bowl),
7.pour the 3 litres back from the 3-litre to the 8-litre bowl (and that's it - in 8-litre bowl 4 litres).

ReplyDeleteFill the 5-litre bowl and pour water to the 3-litre bowl, which you empty afterwards. From the 5-litre bowl pour the 2 remaining litres to the 3-litre bowl. Refill the 5-litre bowl and fill in the 3-litre bowl (with 1 litre), so there stay the 4 required litres in the 5-litre bowl.
