Well, I could get 2 gallons. But I cannot figure out how to get just one.
I feel dumb. This question is making my head hurt.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy, I have it on my TiVo, if you want a copy.
If its not too much of a hassel I'd appreciate it.

Well, I planned on taping HIMYM and watching KC, but I have become severly VCR retarded. I can't seem to get it right and I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. This time it was forgetting to turn the VCR off. Last time I managed to only tape 5 minutes of a show. Is there a support group for people who's brains are slowly leaking?

How do you get one gallon if you only have a 5-gallon and a 10-gallon bucket?
I know how to get four gallons if you have a 5-gallon jug and a 3-gallon jug. But that's just because I saw Die Hard 3.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I liked HIMYM. Aww. They talk as stupid as I do in real life.
But holy fucking crap I cannot wait for Nip/Tuck tomorrow.

It's a start. I can't remember how they did that -- you remember?

Emily, if you have two gallons, can you make a scale/balance thing to evenly divide the two gallons into the two jugs?

I can't remember how they did that -- you remember?
1.) Pour three gallons from the filled five gallon jug into the three gallon jug.
2.) Empty the three gallon jug and pour the remaining two gallons from the five gallon jug into it.
3.) Fill the five gallon jug again.
4.) Pour one gallon into the three gallon jug filled with two gallons, leaving you with four gallons in the five gallon jug.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I started to post that, but then I couldn't remember if they had a separate source of water, or the 5 gallons in the original jug was all they had and I got confused.

Fill the 3-gal and then dump it into the 5-gal, which leaves it 2-gal empty.
Refill the 3-gal and fill the 5-gal to the top, which leaves 1-gal in the 3-gal jug.
Empty the 5-gal and pour the 1-gal from the 3-gal into it.
Refill the 3-gal and pour it into the 5-gal for a total of 4 gallons.
