you have 3 bottles 8 liter, 5 liter and 3 liter in size. The 8 liter is full of water the other bottles are empty. Using the bottles as measuring devices and no additional water or other containers tell me how you can divide the water equally between the 8 L and 5 L bottles. Good luck connies! ;-)

Times up connies! you fill up the 3 L from the 8 L and pour that into the 5 L. Then you fill the 3 L up again from the 8 L and fill the 5 L from the 3 L. That leaves 1 L in the 3 L bottle. then you empty the 5 L back inrto the 8 L and put the 1 L from the 3 L bottle into the 5 L bottle. then you fill the 3 L from the 8 L and pout that 3 L into the 5 L that leaves you 4 L in the 5 L and 4 l in the 8 L qed. I am a liberal (smart) . I'm sure this will be deleted soon cons do know how to complain.

Start with 8-5-3, 8 liter full, 5 & 3 liter empty. Here's the sequence: 5-0-3, 5-3-0, 2-3-3, 2-5-1, 3-5-0, 3-2-3, 6-2-0, 6-0-2 1-5-2, 1-4-3, and finally, 4-4-0.
BTW, I'm a lib.

Fill the 3 liter bottle to full capacity from the 8 liter bottle. That leaves 5 liters in the eight liter bottle. Take half of the remaining volume of water (2.5 liters) and pour it into the empty 5 liter container. What you have left is one 8 liter bottle with 2.5 liters of water. You also have one 5 liter bottle with 2.5 liters of water thus both bottles now have equal volumes of water, with the 3 liter bottle filled to full capacity at 3 liters
Final analysis:
8 Liter Bottle: 2.5 liter volume of water
5 Liter Bottle: 2.5 liter volume of water
3 Liter Bottle: 3.0 liter volume of water
____________________
_______________8.0 liters of water in total volume
Now how can you tell who is a Neocon, and who is a liberal based on this question?

I'd take the water to a desert and sell bottled water with a hell of a mark up...it's a desert after all. Then I'd pay the guy running the contest to see things my way... I win.
