You have 2 jugs. A 5 gallon jug and a 7 gallon jug. There are no marks on the jug to show the difference between each gallon.
How do you get 6 gallons exactly?

Fill up the 7 gallon jug. Pour it into the 5 gallon, and then dump out the 5 gallon. Now you have 2 gallons in a 7 gallon jug. Pour those 2 into the 5 gallon jug, and refill the 7 gallon jug. Pour out 3 gallons from the 7 jug into the 5 by filling up the 5 gallon jug. This leaves you with 4 gallons in the 7 gallon jug. Dump out the full 5 gallon jug , and pour the 4 gallons from the 7 gallon jug into it. Refill the 7 gallon jug, and fill the 5 gallon jug with it. Then you dump out the 5 gallon jug, and are left with a 7 gallon jug with 6 gallons in it!
Phew!

pour liquid from the 7 litre jug into the 5 litre jug. When each jug has equal levels of liquid then you have 6 litres in each jug!!
