Pour the full 3 gallons into the 5 twice, will leave you with one gallon in the 3 gallon bucket. Pour out the 5 gallon bucket, pour the remaining 1 gallon from the 3 gallon bucket into the 5 gallon bucket, fill up the 3 gallon and pour it into the 5 gallon.

You overused the word gallon in that sentence just a bit.

Fair enough

Revised
Pour the full 3 into the 5 twice, will leave you with one in the 3 bucket. Pour out the 5 bucket, pour the remaining 1 from the 3 bucket into the 5 bucket, fill up the 3 and pour it into the 5.

They dfeinately do... its when they are sitting in the pond deciding on how to do it... then I think they both kind of get it at the same time. They do it really fast and kinda talking while doing... but if ya pay attention its in there... so is that cool one about the blind man who went to church !

Ah, the only one I haven't seen. I have heard the question before though it was asked as a 7 gallon and a 4 gallon and you are trying to get 5 gallons. Same principle.
