You are right next to a river and have a 5 gallon container and a 3 gallon container. You need to measure out 1 gallon of water. How do you do it?

5 litre : 3 litre
0 : 0
fill 3 litre container
0 : 3
pour 3 litre container into 5 litre container.
3 : 0
fill 3 litre container again
3 : 3
pour contents of 3 litre container into 5 litre container until it is full
5 : 1
your left with 1 litre in the 3 litre container
edit : litre > gallon
