Lemonade (Posted on 2005-07-26) Difficulty: 3 of 5
You have 3 unmarked pitchers that hold 6 cups, 10 cups, and 15 cups. The 10 cup pitcher is filled with lemonade, but you have to dilute it so people at the party don't complain that it's too sour. Unfortunately, I have, in the name of logic, broken your only measuring cup.

How can you dilute the lemonade to 20 cups such that all of the lemonade is of equal concentration? You have a sink with unlimited water, but you can't waste any lemonade. Try using as few moves as possible.
