I agree with eastcoastar.
His plan is fool proof, but neither of you have understood it...
If you put the 3l can in the 5l can, and pour the water into the 5l upto the top, without any getting into the 3l, there will be 2l.
You pour those 2l into the 3l can, and repeat the process, and when u have got 2l more in the 5l can, you pour the 2l from the 3l into the 5l, and you will have 4l...
This explanation is and answer, and a question at the same time...its my answer, but id be suprised if anyone understands it... lol

You are not allowed to cut open cans! And no measuring marks on the side. You can do it, it is pretty easy.

Fill the 3l then put into 5l, refill the 3l and from the 3l fill the 5l til is full. Now you empty the 5l and put whats in the 3l into it. The rest its easy ;-)

i read this one while back... and they say 98% of the people awnser the same exact thing... but i was one of the few who didnt lol... anyway... do this and as u know dont look ahead and all that stuff...
THINK of a number from 1 to 10
MULTIPLY that number by 9
If the number is a 2-digit number, ADD the digits together
Now SUBTRACT 5
DETERMINE which letter in the alphabet corresponds to the number you ended up with (example: 1=a, 2=b, 3=c,etc.)
THINK of a country that starts with that letter
REMEMBER the last letter of the name of that country
THINK of the name of an animal that starts with that letter
REMEMBER the last letter in the name of that animal
THINK of the name of a fruit that starts with that letter
Are you thinking of a Kangaroo in Denmark eating an Orange?

I know your trick! Multiples of 9 from 9 to 90, sum up to 9 when you add the digits. When you subtract 5k you get 4. So no matter what number you pick, you always get D.The first country that comes to most people's mind is denmark. Few remember djibouti or dominica. As for the animal, few would remember a koala and i dont remember even a 3rd one. So....... But very impressive the first time:-) keep it up!

Here's a question: theres a rope of uneven thickness,which burns in exactly 1 hour. How can you use it to measure a time of 30 mins? Its very easy!
