Easy. Fill the 7gal pail to the full mark (7 Gallons) with water. Then pour, from the 7 gallon pail, water into each of the 3 gallon pail up to the full mark. The remaining water left in the 7 gallon is 1 gallon. Pour this gallon into the aquarium. Fill the 7 gallon pail with water, again to the full mark, and then add to the aquarium. 1 Gallon + 7 Gallons = 8 Gallons.

If you have two drums one is three gallons and the other is five if you have an unlimited supply of water but need to get exactly four gallons how could you do it?
Fill the 5-gallon drum. Pour the contents into the 3-gallon drum, filling it. Now you have 2 gallons left in the big one.Empty the 3-gallon drum. Pour the 2 gallons into it. At this point there is room for one more gallon.Now refill the 5-gallon drum and pour off as much as it takes to fill up the small one. That means you are removing one gallon.Now you have exactly 4 gallons in the 5-gallon drum.or Fill the 3 gallon drum. Pour the contents into the 5 gallon drum. Refill the the 3 gallon drum and pour the contents into the 5 gallon drum until it is full. Empty the 5 gallon drum. You have 1 gallon left in the 3 gallon drum. Pour the remaining 1 gallon into the 5 gallon drum. Re-fill the 3-gallon drum and pour that into the 5 gallon drum giving you 4 gallons. or Tip the 5 gallon drum and fill it until water is level to both the bottom and spilling out the top; next do the same with the 3 gallon drum; then pour the half full 3 gallon drum into the half full 5 gallon drum, rusulting in 2.5 plus 1.5 equals 4 gallons! orWatch Die Hard 3 for the answer.
