A farmer needs 8 gallons of water. He has only three unmarked buckets, two 6 gallon and one 11 gallon bucket.
How can he collect 8 gallons of water using three unmarked buckets? Provide solution with minimal water wastage.
(In reply to
re: proove me wrong!! by Lewis)
The question also states that the farmer has ONLY 3 unmarked buckets, this presumably precludes using some sort of balance which could be used to share the water by weight between the two (identical?) 6 gallon buckets.
On this basis both Sami and Viet's solutions are invalid.
