and i just watched the bit in the park when john and zeus have to disarm the bomb with 3 gallons of water
when this scene came up i was like oh yeah i remember not being able to work this out when i first watched it. so yeah they have a 3 gallon and a 5 gallon drum and they need exactly 4 gallons in the 5 gallon drum
so they start to talk through it and then it changes to another scene (with simon) and cuts back to john and the racist **** and they have exactly 2.5 gallons in one of the drums and they're like blah blah blah just and blah blah in blah blah and suddenly they solve it and i'm like WTF JUST HAPPENED

There are two solutions to the water jug riddle in the park, at the elephant fountain. To place exactly 4 gallons of water on the scales when you only have two jugs which hold 3 and 5 gallons respectively, you must do either of the following. 1. Fill the 5 gallon jug and decant the water into the 3 gallon jug. This leaves two gallons in the big jug. 2. Empty the 3 gallon jug and pour in the two gallons from the 5 gallon jug, leaving space for one gallon in the small jug. 3. Refill the 5 gallon jug and pour water from it into the 3 gallon jug until the small jug's full. 4. That leaves exactly four gallons in the big jug; put it on the scale and the bomb is disarmed.
The second method is: 1. Fill the 3 gallon jug and pour the water into the 5 gallon jug. 2. Refill the 3 gallon jug, and pour into the 5 gallon jug until the big jug is full, leaving one gallon in the small jug. 3. Empty the big jug, and transfer the one gallon from the small jug to the big jug. 4. Refill the small jug and pour all three gallons into the 5 gallon jug, resulting in four gallons in the big jug. Place the big jug on the scale and the bomb is disarmed.

Yeah but my friends wanted to go and I wasn't really expecting much.
Yeah, it's pretty easily done, if Black Ink hadn't cheated I could've told you how to do it.

I've only seen 2 and 4, and I really liked 4. 2 was pathetic though.

the first two are really good, but I never really liked With a Vengeance. I want to see the new one
oh yeah, and that scene always confused me too. it sounds pretty obvious after reading that imdb thing though
