1 Liter

0 Comments 14 April 2010

Given three bowls:
bowl A (8 liters capacity) filled with 5 liters of water;
bowl B (5 liters capacity) filled with 3 liters of water;
and bowl C (3 liters capacity) filled with 2 liters of water.

Question: Can you get exactly 1 liter water, by transferring the water only 2 times?


1st Pour 1 litre from bowl A to bowl C. Thus 4 litres are left in the bowl A and bowl C is full (3 litres).
2nd Pour 2 litres from bowl C to bowl B. Doing that you have full bowl B (5 litres) and there is 1 litre left in bowl C.
