ok free riding with custard duck dire twm greezy and dagz somehow led to discussing the jugs of water maths problem from die hard with a vengeance. much confusion ensued and i tried to explain it but lag must have prevent ed it from coming through sensibly so here we go:

 

take the 3pint container and poor it into the 5pint.

fill the 3pint again and poor it into the 5pint - 1pint leftover.

empty the 5pint and poor the 1pint into the 5pint add another 3pints from the 3pint container to get your 4pints .

 

easy :)

 

(i'll edit a pic tomorrow when i'm transferring lol)

It all started because someone was going on about thier car and buying something and how work was annoying and I said Work hard, Play hard ....Die Hard. lol Then someone mentioned about the St Ives riddle and then another person couldn't understand the 4 gallon thing in DH WaV which Cabbage tried to explain but people were talking and lag interrupted that.

 

BTW I worked out why the film confuses everyone with their method:

 

Fill up the 5G and pour into the 3G container

Empty the 3G and pour the 2G remaining in the 5G into the 3G

Fill the 5G so you now have the 5G full and the 3G with 2G

Pour the 5G into the 3G

3G takes 1G filling it up making the 5G into 4G

 

Believe it or not it's actually one less step than the above that everyone thinks is easier! :D
