    You have 2 jugs. A 3 gallon jug and a 5 gallon jug. How do you get exactly 4 gallons into one of the jugs. You must be precise. One ounce to much or to little means you will explode.

    You measure it, of course. Your question does not preclude that option.
    How? You only have 2 jugs.

    I would fill the 3 gallon jug and empty into the empty 5 gallon jug.
    I'd then re-fill the 3 gallon jug and add those to the 5 gallon jug that contains 3 gallons.
    I'd carefully pour the 3 gallon into the 5 gallon until it's full.
    My 3 gallon would be left w/ 1 gallon.
    I'd empty my 5 gallon.
    I'd pour my 1 gallon remainder in the 3 gallon jug into the 5 gallon jug
    I'd re-fill my 3 gallon jug and add that to the 5 gallon jug

    Boom, 4 gallons

    you just wasted 5 gallons...

    I would fill the 5 gallon jug and put pour 3 gallons into the 3 gallon jug. Leaving 2 gallons in the 5.
    Then dump the 3 gallons out of the 3 gallon jug. Then dump the 2 gallons into the 3 gallons jug.
    Then fill the 5 gallong jug to the top then dump one gallon into the 3 gallon jug, since there is already 2 gallons in the 3 gallon jug. Leaving 4 gallons.

    I would do the same in liters!

    using liter jugs to get 4 gallons?

    You can't actually use litre jugs due to the fact that there are 3.78541L per gallon. Good luck everyone, I expect your homework on my desk in the morning.

    I think the dress is the problem, not the model. That thing is ugly.
    Also, who knew "club dresses" was an actual category!

    If you click on the PJ banner and goto the main page, then click near the top, where your name is, there should be a pull down menu where you can fill out a 'location'. Not sure if that will work, because my avatar there is grumpy cat, but I see my avatar as an 'R'.

    I don't miss 81 either... :P
