If you want to measure out exactly one pint of water, and you have only a three pint jug and a five pint jug. How would you do it?

fill the 3 pint jug, pour it into the 5 pint jug, refill the 3 pint jug and fill the 5 pint jug from that, You will have 1 pint left in the 3 pint jug.

Wow, I'm amazed really. I was trying to figure out how to say it. But you have done already well. Amazing! And thank you for the very cool posts. I'll ask this to my brothers too. Just to see if they will figure out the answer. Have a nice day Romel! (^^,)

Hello, judy. It appears that you have a better presentation. It is more understandable and more appealing.

Using mathematics to solve your problem, we will come out with 6-5=1. Meaning two fills of the 3 pint jug will be needed to fill up the five pint jug, with one pint left in the 3 pint jug.
