Fill up the 3 pint jug, pour it into the 5 pint jug, fill up the 3 pint jug again and start pouring it into the 5 pint jug, only 2 more pints will fit in the 5 pint jug, leaving you with 1 pint in the 3 pint jug

Fill the 3 pint jug and pour it into the 5 pint jug, leaving 2 pints in the 3 pint jug. Then fill the 3 pint jug again and pour it into the 5 pint jug until it's full, which will take 1 pint from the 3 pint jug, leaving 1 pint in it.
