Can anybody explain the bottle riddle!
Never got it.
shareYes.
Fill the 3 gallon bottle and empty it into the 5 gallon. Fill it again and empty into 5 gallon until full. This leaves 1 gallon in the 3 gallon bottle. Empty all the water from the 5 gallon and pour the remaining 1 gallon from the 3 gallon into the 5 gallon. Refill the 3 gallon and pour it into the 5 gallon.
Exactly 4 gallons!!!
Gentlemen, England will be playing 4-4-f---ing-2
I remember they have 2 gallons left in the 3 gallons.
That's mean, they (McClaine and Zeus, most probably off screen):-
Fill 5 gallons bottle full
Pour 3 gallons into 3 gallons bottle (5 gallons bottle have 2 gallons left)
Empty the 3 gallons bottle
Transfer the 2 gallons remaining in 5 gallons bottle to 3 gallons bottle
That's how they have 2 gallons in a 3 gallons bottle.
What they do is:-
Fill 5 gallons bottle full again
Pour 1 gallons into 3 gallons bottle
So the 5 gallons bottle will have 4 gallons.
Yours are not wrong, just not the way they did it.
Yeah, I explained tge shorter (in my opinion easier) way to do it. The OP was asking the solution to the riddle, but as you say that wasn't how they did it in the movie
share@wears lololol that's funny how you are trying to defend your mistake by arrogantly making out you were merely answering the question of the riddle, in your opinion the 'easier' way, when your way takes longer, I count 8 steps in total, than the correct and actual easier way that they do in the movie which is 6 steps. So nah, you fail!
shareI'm still confused. Can you please repeat this?
sharewhat they should have done considering thw water they had, was fill them both half full..... that would be 2 1/2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug, and 1 1/2 in the 3 gallon jug, and then combine them.... 2 1/2 + 1 1/2 =4.... boom, they had their solution!!!

More like boom, there goes the entire block after the bomb goes off. They had to get precisely four gallons of water, no margin for error.
