Challenge each of your patrols to huddle and try this exercise in problem solving.
Problem: You must measure exactly 1 gallon of water out of a 20-gallon barrel. You have only a 5-gallon bucket and a 3-gallon bucket. How can you measure exactly 1 gallon?
Solution: Fill the 3-gallon bucket and pour it into the 5-gallon bucket. Refill the 3-gallon bucket and pour it into the 5-gallon bucket until it is full. The remainder in the 3-gallon bucket will be exactly 1 gallon. A simple solution to a problem that appeared complex!
