You are camping, and have an 8-liter bowl which is full of fresh water.

You need to share this water fairly into exactly two portions (4 + 4 liters).

But you only have two empty bowls: a 5-liter and a 3-liter bowl.

Divide the 8 liters in half in as short a time as possible. You are going to mix up some concrete, and in order to get it just right you need exactly 6 liters.

But you only have a 4-liter and a 9-liter bucket.

How can you do this?
