    Talking 5+3=1 (puzzleer)

    i took this from a riddle site:

    You are right next to a river and have a 5 gallon container and a 3 gallon container. You need to measure out 1 gallon of water. How do you do it?
    I'm not going to tell you what the site it though. Because you might cheat . good luck!!

    Talking Answer

    1) Full the 3 gallon container with water.
    2) Put all the water from the 3 gallon container into the 5 gallon container.
    3) Full the 3 gallon container again with more water (until it is full)
    4) put the water from the 3 gallon container into the 5 gallon container until the 5 gallon container is full, then stop.

    5) the 3 gallon container now contains 1 gallon exactly.

    Thumb, look closely is Die Hard 3 and you can see it many times.

    Actually it was bruce who had to do it, but samuel l jackson figured it out!

    Not as good as the original though...
