There are two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all of this water into a barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

if you know the volume of each jug and pour the water from one jug in to the barrel and than submerge the jug and note the level when you pour the second jug you will be able to distinguish which jug gives you the water level on the barrel.

Place the jugs on a table. Place the barrel on the floor.Place a straw in each that curves down to the barrel.Suck on each straw so the water from each jug pours into the barrel.Watch it and you can tell the source of the water.

freeze the water into two blocks of ice. Place the two blocks of solid ice inside the barrel. One would have to remember which block came from which jug, of course. Perhaps food coloring could be used.

Freeze one jug only and pour everything in barrel.
You will be able to distinguish water from one jug and ice floating on top is form other jug.
Simple !!!

Add a lot of salt to one jug of water, the other volume of water will float on top.
