  2. 1)Fill small 3 liter jug with water. Pour into large 8 liter jug.
    Repeat. Now 6 liters of water in large jug.

    Repeat again but stop when large jug full. Leaves 1 liter in small jug.

    Empty large jug. Pour water from small jug into large jug.

    Refill small jug and pour into large jug.

    There are now 4 liters of water in large jug.
