Just Don't Get It

!justdontgetit@lemmy.tf is a community for things that you just don't get or understand. It's a community where you're welcome to be the opposite of the smartest in the room. Ask questions about things of which have perplex for years like "why was seeing a pig run a consolation?" or "why don't we shoo our space in to the sun?" and for those of you not comfortable with asking questions, even those like "why is going to bed with your socks on even though you have a spouse a thing?", you're welcome to be part of this community too and answer questions. The only thing I ask is that you be and not a condescending prick.

I originally said "You're free to post text posts, screenshots or memes." but it seems to be mostly text. Feel free to change that with your posts.

I know this will seem stupidly simple once someone explains, but my brain has been struggling for a minute and I was obviously impressed by this because it's a screenshot of an advert that's been sitting on my phone since forever.

  • Fill 5l
  • Use 5l to fill 3l
  • Ditch 3l
  • Your 5l now contains 2l
  • Move 2l from 5l to 3l
  • You now have 0l and 2l
  • Fill 5l again full and fill 3l to the top Now you have 4l in 5l and 3l in 3l

Overall whoever sets this task should be shot as you just wasted a crap ton of water instead of using a measuring jug...

wasted a crap ton of water

You drew 10 ๐‘™ to obtain 4 ๐‘™. Out of that, 3 ๐‘™ can still be recovered from the small can. Not great, not terrible.

Doesn't really matter when your life is on the line.
