You fill up the 3 gallon then dump it into the 5 gallon. Then you fill up the 3 gallon again and dump what will fit into the 5 gallon. The remaining liquid in the 3 gallon will be one gallon.

First you fill up the three gallon container. Then you pour the contents into the five gallon container. So there will be room for two gallons. Then you fill the three gallon container up again, and pour enough to fill up the five gallon container. The amount remaining in the three gallon container is one gallon.

1. fill the 5 gallon and pour into the three gallon. There are now 2 gallons in the 5 gallon.
2. empty the 3 gallon. pour the 5 gallon in the three gallon. There are now 2 gallons in the 3 gallon.
3. fill the 5 gallon. pour a gallon into the three gallon. there are now three gallons in the 3 gallon and 4 gallons in the 5 gallon.
4. empty the 3 gallon. pour the 5 gallon into the three gallon. there are now three gallons in the 3 gallon and 1 gallon in the 5 gallon. exactly what mcdavid said, but backward.
