DAY 119
A farmer has two uncalibrated containers. One holds five quarts and the other holds three quarts. The farmer has an unlimited supply of water in his well. How can he measure out exactly seven quarts of water?
Answer:
Fill the 5 qt. and pour it into the 3 qt. until it is full. This leaves 2 qts. in the 5 qt. container. Dump out the 3 qt. container and pour the 2 qts. into it. Fill the 5 qt. giving you 2 + 5 = 7.
