First fill the nine quart pail. The using the nine quart pail fill the 3 quart pail. This leaves 6 quarts. Using the 3 quart pail pour all the water over flowing the two quart pail. This leaves a filled two quart pail, a partially filled nine quart pail containing 6 quarts and an empty 3 quart pail. 6 quarts plus 2 quarts plus 0 quarts equals 8 quarts. Each pail has been filled once. Redheart_of_the_13moons@Yahoo.com
