MathMagic Cycle 14: Level K-3 Regular 

*************************************

	You are given three odd shaped containers that hold 3 liters, 5 
liters and 8 liters each, and have no marks. You are told that all you
can do is use water to full, pour or empty the containers. Discuss with
your NTP how you would use the containers to EXACTLY measure:

	a) Four liters of water
	b) Six liters of water
	c) One liter of water

Hint: Try filling one container and pouring into another.
