Thirsty Farmer (Posted on 2003-07-09) Difficulty: 3 of 5
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.

mike, I think your solution is the same as fwaff's.

I also think that unless the problem states that you can "split" the container equally, you can't do it.
