Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I can't remember how they did that -- you remember?
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.
Allyson! You should totally be on a reality show. I would love that. Due to enjoying people I know on TV.
If i may quote you, "HAR."
The odd part of the conversation, other than the entire conversation, was after asking me to describe the last event (LOST) which I did in full, she told me she could totally ask her boss to call JJ Abrams for me if we wanted to do another LOST event.
I told her I could call his office right now, all by myself, and didn't need any help getting in touch with, well, anyone. The I explained that most event companies in LA are more well connected than her boss, or JJ Abrams for that matter.
She said it would be good for business.
I said it would be unlikely to be good for business, because event planners tend to constantly be dealing with fires, and some jackhole with a nut allergy who just ate the satay with peanut sauce, and some actor who got "lost" (read, had to tie one on) on the way to the party, and a the ice sculpture of David at the bris who was mistakely carved with a foreskin that you have to chip off in front of the horrified father.
We look like raging cuntbag bitchpie most of the time at the event, very unkind, unflattering. Great TV, but with no time for a camera tailing us when threatening the hotel staff with a pair of salad tongs for forgetting to put the sterno blue fire pu pu platter shit under the fondue.
And she said, "omigod you're so funny."
Well, I could get 2 gallons. But I cannot figure out how to get just one.
How did you get 2?

Actually, you're totally right. You don't want to be filmed dealing with all the crazy bullshit. What you should do is be a commentator on someone else's reality show. That would be awesome.

The Allyson N Kristen show! I'd watch!

Fill the 7-gallon, fill the 5-gallon from the 7-gallon, what remains is 2.
Excellent! Thank you, Sean. Following that pattern, it just takes a couple extra steps.
Unfortunately, I was supposed to be solving that problem by working backward, so having found the solution I now have to figure out how I would have gotten it the other way.
...Where did the 7-gallon container come from?
I feel very Jack Bauer. You aren't telling us everything! Who are you working for?
Allyson, who is doing the show? Part of my curiosity is because a friend of mine works for a teeny little production company, or did, and it sounds like something they'd do. Although I don't know why I think that.

Ah. You'd said a 5-gallon and a 10-gallon before. Your 4-gallon is pretty easy with a 5 and 7. Get your 2-gallon as above, then pour it into the (emptied) 5-gallon. Fill the 7-gallon again, and fill the 5-gallon the rest of the way (another 3 gallons). You'll have 4 gallons left in the 7 gallon.
