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.

    Might as well add my own solution:

    • Fill the 5L jug
    • Pour the 5L jug into the 3L jug until the 3L jug is full
    • Now the 5L jug contains 2L
    • Empty the 3L jug
    • Pour the 5L jug into the 3L jug
    • Now the 3L jug contains 2L
    • Fill the 5L jug
    • Pour the 5L jug into the 3L jug until the 3L jug is full
    • Now the 5L jug contains 4L
