Well, I hope everyone survived having their hearts candied and their kisses smothered with chocolate, yesterday. I was looking over some old notebooks of mine and I came across a very interesting brain teaser. In my notes the source is uncredited, therefore I can only assume that I came up with it myself after a long night of Blue Beaver drinking.
You have two jugs in front of you. One holds five litres the other one holds three litres. You also have a full keg of Blue Beaver Beer. You need to measure out exactly four litres of beer. How do you do it?
I will let you all ponder this problem for a few days. If you find yourself stumped (although I’m certain all of our readers are easily clever enough to figure this one out) just leave me a comment below and I will let you know the solution.

that brain teaser comes from the movie “Die hard with a vengance. Just to let you know. Its the scene where they are in the park with the elephant fountain two jugs, and the bomb with the scale on it.

Yeah, I remember the scene. One of you guys is going to have to give me the answer, though, because I remember being stumped by this one before and I don’t want to go get a copy of the movie right now!
