    1) Fill 3-gallon jug and pour everything into the 5-gallon jug.

    2) Do the same as #1 and you are left with 1 gallon of water in the 3-gallon jug.

    3) The 5-gallon jug is full. Empty it.

    4) Pour the 1 gallon of water from the 3-gallon jug into the 5-gallon jug.

    5) Fill the 3-gallon jug ang pour everything into the 5-gallon jug. You now have exactly 4 gallons of water in the 5-gallon jug.
