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.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

...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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Fill the 7-gallon, fill the 5-gallon from the 7-gallon, what remains is 2.
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.

Did I? Sorry. Also, I was looking for 1 gallon, not 4. It's all set now, except for the working backwards part.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The Allyson N Kristen show! I'd watch!
If memory serves me right, it was a very popular series back on WX before it got cancelled.

HA! Yes, I too was wondering where the 7 gallon bucket came from.

Allyson left me for a better deal with some other production company.

Do you have a one quart saucepan or pitcher. Fill that up four times.
You guys are all about the thinking outside the box, though, and I value that.

Oh, ok. then you fill the 5-gallon three times, and keep emptying it into the 7-gallon.

I'm so tired, I can't really follow the math talk. I just keep picturing Mickey Mouse emptying buckets of water into the big cauldron.
