Jumping in Puddles

Tue May 4

Tuesday Teaser #16

A Die Hard with a Vengeance style puzzle this week, but significantly harder (sorry @aliholli)!

Suppose you have two 8-litre jugs full of water and an empty 3-litre jug. Your aim is to transfer exactly four litres of water into four separate pools. Assume that:

  • The only source of water is the 16 litres in the two 8-litre jugs;
  • Once water has been added to any of the pools, it cannot be removed.

Can you find a way?
