The Water Jug Puzzle (Thursday, July 10, 2008)While reviewing for my PhD qualifying exams, I came across the following puzzle:
Obviously, measuring out 4 liters is as easy as filling the 4-liter jug, and measuring out 7 liters is as easy as filling the 7-liter jug. But see if you can figure out how to end up with the other amounts in one of the two jugs. Remember, there is no "half a jug" nor any other place to store water. Leave a comment with your solution! CommentsThanks Matt, but it doesn't count if we've already been over the answers!! -- editor -- anonyMouZ (7/12/2008 11:22 AM)
Did I get it? It's almost 11pm but I couldn't stop!!! Not sure if my math is correct and quite honestly - I'll let you figure that out :) -- Jazzy (8/28/2008 10:40 PM)
