Jug Problems and Algorithms
Abstract:
As seen in \textit{Die Hard with A Vengeance}, we investigate the classic puzzle of making 4 gallons using only a 3- and a 5-gallon jug. We'll look at various generalizations of this puzzle, when and how they are solvable, and how quickly one can arrive at a solution.
