2) The Room with the Buckets

You are trapped in a room with only four things inside. Those things are:

• A 3 gallon bucket

• A 5 gallon bucket

• A hose with unlimited water

• A drain to pour out extra water

To open the lock on the door, you need to measure out exactly 4 gallons of water. No more, no less. The buckets have no measuring lines, and no markings other then their sizes.

How would you do it?
