  • SYNOPSIS: Interesting challenge but the "game/challenge" is unsolvable due to a programming error by the developer.

    This "game" has a flaw; Move 6 below (a legal move) is not allowed. Until you are able to perform Move 6, the solution will be unsolvable.

    Normally it can be solved in 10 Moves.

    PREMISE CHALLENGE

    Can you move the water around so you end up with 4 liters in the middle Jug B?

    Three Jugs hold various amounts of water. Jug A holds 8 liters and is currently full. Jug B is empty and has a capacity to hold 5 liters. Jug C is empty and has the capacity to hold 3 liters.

    LITER CAPACITY RECAP

    Jug A - 8

    Jug B - 5

    Jug C - 3
