Fill the 5L  container and pour it into the 3L container. Now there are 2L remaining in the 5L container. empty the 3L container and pour these 2L into the 3L container. Now the 3L container needs 1L  more to fill it up. Now fill the 5L container and pour 1L into the 3L container  to fill it. The 5L container  has 4L  in it now. cool1

Here's one for you  :biggrin:

You have 5 Pill-bottles full of Viagra. Each Viagra weighs 10 gram, except for the Copy Viagra contained in one of the Pill-bottles, where each Viagra  weighs only  9 gm. Given a scale, how could you tell which Pill-bottle had the copy Viagra in it by making just one measurement on the scales ???

One of the 5 bottles irrespective of how many tablets therin will weigh less.

Weigh all 5 bottles together  . Record the weight.

Take off the bottles one by one and observe the reduction in weight. The one weighing least will reduce the overall weight the least.

(Does that constitute making more than one measurement?)

It's Sunday morning Ken. No one is up yet, and if they are they likely have a hangover!

There's only you and me!

Clarification needed Sugar Daddy.

You mention "  the Copy Viagra contained in one of the Pill-bottles" suggesting there is just one  yet you go on to say "where each Viagra  weighs only  9 gm" suggesting there is more than one copy.
