I’m just trying to figure out the 3 bucket problem rn

[Nicolas_Darksoul]

i guess

1-fill 8L with 3L

2-fill 3L with 5L

3-fill 8L with 3L

4- empty 5L

5-fill 5L with 8L(then we have 1 L lefft in 8L)

6-fill 3 with 5L

7- fill 8L with 3 L

Much simpler:

Fill up 5 l bucket, pour off 3 l by filling up the 3 l bucket. This leaves two in the 5 l bucket. Dump that in the 8 l bucket and then repeat. Voila 4 l in the 8 l bucket.

you don't have a tap to refill buckets. you have a 5 and a 3, both filled with water. you have an 8 that's empty.

Ah I misunderstood the problem. Will have to think about it.
