Measuring Just 1 Liter Puzzle - Solution
The Puzzle:
In bowl A (8 liters capacity) are 5 liters of water.
In bowl B (5 liters capacity) are 3 liters of water.
In bowl C (3 liters capacity) are 2 liters of water.
Can you measure exactly 1 liter, pouring only 2 times?
Our Solution:Step 1. Pour from bowl A to bowl C until it is full - that only takes 1 liter.
So 4 liters are left in bowl A and bowl C is full (3 liters).
Step 2. Pour from bowl C to bowl B until it is full - that only takes 2 liters.
Bowl B is now full (5 liters) and there is 1 liter left in bowl C.
Done.
