13. Imagine having three bowls. In the bowl A (8 liters capacity) are 5 liters of water. In the bowl B (5 liters capacity) are 3 liters of water. In the bowl C (3 liters capacity) are 2 liters of water. Can you measure exactly 1 liter, over spilling only 2 times?

Solution: Pour 1 liter from bowl A to bowl C. Thus 4 liters are left in the bowl A and bowl C is full (3 liters). Now pour 2 liters from bowl C to bowl B. Doing that you have full bowl B (5 liters) and there is 1 liter left in bowl C.
