Movie and riddle?

Question

What movie does this riddle come from and how do you solve it?

There is a 5 litre container and a 3 litre container and you have to measure exactly 4 litres out using both of them.

Answer 1

Die Hard 3 (With a Vengence).

Bruce Willis and Sam Jackson have to sort it out at the fountain.

In essence; fill the 5 pour into the 3, empty the three and pout the remaining 2 in. Fill the five again and fill up the remaining gap in the 3 - leaving four in the five.

Answer 2

Fill the 5 litre container, then pour its contents into the 3 litre container. This will leave 2 litres in the 5 litre container. Pour out the 3 litre container. Pour the remainder of the 5 litre container into the 3 litre container. Fill the 5 litre container again and fill up the 3 litre container to the brim. This will leave 4 litres in the 5 litre container. No idea what film, though soz x

Answer 3

Die Hard with a Vengeance
You fill the three litre completely then put it in the 5 litre container. You then fill the 3 litre again and tip it into the 5 litre filling the 5 litre to the top. You then tip out the 5 litres of water, as you have been left with 1 litre in the 3 litre container. You then put the one litre in the 5 litre container. Next you fill the 3 litre right up to the top and add it to the 1 litre in the larger container making 4

Answer 4

Die hard with a vengence.

fill the 5 ltr container, pour from the 5ltr into the 3ltr container and empty the 3 ltr.
Pour the remaining 2 ltrs from the 5ltr container into the 3 ltr container
refill the 5 ltr conatiner and pour the 5ltr container into the 3 ltr contatiner until the 3 ltr is full and the 5 ltr is holding 4 litres.

Answer 5

fill the three litre one from the 5 litre one left is 2 litres do that twice and you will have 4 litres

Answer 6

Awesome movie, awesome riddle...the other descriptions were a bit weird so I thought I'd make it simple for you:

Fill the 3L to the max.
Pour it into the 5L.
Fill the 3L to the max again.
Pour that into the 5L bottle til it's full, you'll be left with 1L in the 3L bottle.
Empty the 5L bottle.
Pour the 1L into the 5L bottle.
Fill the 3L to the max and then pour that into the 5L bottle.

You have 4 litres... mine's a little longer but it's simpler to understand, I'm sure.
