Do you know how to fill up a bucket with water? Small SBD prize if you can.

There is a 5 litre bucket, a 3 litre bucket and unlimited water, but no other measuring devices. How can you fill the 5 litre bucket with exactly 4 litres of water?

http://branthansen.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/2008/04/13/buckets_and_stuff.jpg

There is a grand prize of 0.003 SBD for the winner and two 0.001 SBD runner up prizes.

The winner is the first correct answer. After 7 days the runners up will be randomly selected. I will use a random number generator and assign numbers to all correct answers and the two chosen will win (It's a small prize but mainly just for fun.) After 7 days I post an answer/identify the correct answer and pay out the rewards.

Please optionally upvote if you like this post or give an answer, have fun!

I usually, but not always, get voting bots on my posts after a few days to allow people to earn curation rewards.

There are two ways to do that

- Fill the 5 litre can from the tap
- Empty the 5 litre can into the 3 litre can
- leaving 2 litres in the 5 litre can.
- Pour away the contents of the 3 litre can.
- Fill the 3 litre can with the 2 litres from the 5 litre can 
- leaving 2 litres in the 3 litre can.
- Fill the 5 litre can from the tap.
- Fill the remaining 1 litre space in the 3 litre can from the 5 litre can.
- Leaving 4 litres in the 5 litre can.


**Or:**

- Fill the 3 litre can from the tap.
- Empty the contents of the 3 litre can into the 5 litre can.
- Fill the 3 litre can from the tap.
- Empty the contents of the 3 litre can into the 5 litre can.
- Leaving the 5 litre can full and 1 litre in the 3 litre can.
- Pour away the contents of the 5 litre can
- Pour the 1 litre from the 3 litre can into the 5 litre can.
