🧩 RIDDLE OF THE WEEK! 🧩
Can you solve this week’s challenge? 🤔💭
You have a 3-litre canister and a 5-litre canister, but neither has any measuring lines. How would you measure exactly 4 litres of water? 💧
Comment your answer below before checking the solution! 👇
💡 Answer:
1️⃣ Fill the 5-litre canister completely.
2️⃣ Pour the water into the 3-litre canister until it is full. You will have 2 litres remaining in the 5-litre canister.
3️⃣ Empty the 3-litre canister.
4️⃣ Pour the remaining 2 litres from the 5-litre canister into the 3-litre canister.
5️⃣ Fill the 5-litre canister again.
6️⃣ Pour water from the 5-litre canister into the 3-litre canister until it is full. Since the 3-litre canister already contains 2 litres, only 1 litre is needed—leaving you with exactly 4 litres in the 5-litre canister! 🎉
