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.

It is an answer. Still, does it minimize water wastage? This solution wastes 22 gallons by my count.
