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.
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

I feel very Jack Bauer. You aren't telling us everything! Who are you working for?
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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Did I? Sorry. Also, I was looking for 1 gallon, not 4. It's all set now, except for the working backwards part.
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.

Fill 5-g. Empty into 7-g. Fill 5-g again. Fill 7-g from 5-g (takes 2 g), empty 7-g. Pour remaining 3 g from 5-g into 7-g. Fill 5-g again, fill 7-g with 4 g, you're left with 1 g.
General rule: if you need x gallons, find multiples of your two jugs' capacities that are x apart. So for 1 gallon, 3*5 gallons is 15 gallons, and 2*7 gallons is 14 gallons. The difference is your 1 gallon. So three refills of the 5-gallon jug lets you fill the 7-gallon jug twice, and have 1 gallon left over.

Ooh, a system. I like those. Although the way I did it was a bit different, and probably wasteful.

Unlike pouring out 14 gallons of water to get 1 gallon. Geez, invest in some other measuring jugs, people!

What BT said.
Emily, whatever answer they were looking for, if they want you to figure out how to get a single gallon with the 5 and 7 galoon jugs, your answer should be -- "I go to the nearest convenience store and buy a GALLON OF WATER."
