    A Petri dish hosts a healthy colony of bacteria. Once a minute every bacterium divides into two. The colony was founded by a single cell at noon. At exactly 12:43 (43 minutes later) the Petri dish was half full.
    At what time will the dish be full?

    You have a 5 gallon bucket and a 3 gallon bucket with as much water as you need, but no other measuring devices. Fill the 5 gallon bucket with exactly 4 gallons of water.

    Fill the 5 gallon

    From the 5 gallon fill the 3 gallon

    Tip out the 3 gallon

    Put the 2 gallon remain in the 5 gallon into the 3 gallon

    Fill up the 5 gallon

    Top up the 3 gallon from the 5 gallon

    Unless you have been sloppy congratulations you have 4 gallon left in the 5 gallon
