- I have been thinking about those old puzzles where you are given two
- buckets of specific volumes and have to measure up a certain,
- different, volume of water in one of them.

- Has anything been written on this subject? (I can't even begin to
- guess how to make a literature search. "Look for 'bucket' and/or
- 'water' - whoops 45000 hits..." ;-)
