Test Your Knowledge Tuesday!

The answer to last week's tester (there are two options):

Answer 1:
Fill the three-gallon tank from the eight-gallon. Dump the three-gallon tank into the five-gallon. Fill the three-gallon tank from the eight-gallon again and use that to fill the five-gallon. Now you've got two gallons in the eight-gallon tank, five gallons in the five-gallon tank, and one gallon in the three-gallon tank.

Dump the five-gallon tank into the eight-gallon tank. Put the gallon from the three-gallon tank into the five-gallon tank. Now you've got seven gallons in the eight-gallon tank and one in the five-gallon tank.

Fill the three-gallon tank from the eight-gallon tank. Dump the three-gallon tank into the five-gallon tank. You should now have four gallons in the eight-gallon tank and four gallons in the five-gallon tank.

Answer 2:
Fill the five-gallon tank from the eight-gallon. Fill the three-gallon tank from the five-gallon. Pour the three-gallon tank back into the eight-gallon tank. Now you should have six gallons in the eight-gallon tank and two gallons in the five-gallon tank.

Dump the two gallons in the five-gallon tank into the three-gallon tank. Pour what you can from the eight-gallon tank into the five-gallon tank. Now you should have one gallon in the eight-gallon tank, five gallons in the five-gallon tank, and two gallons in the three-gallon tank..

This week’s challenge:
Well, since nobody is playing along to the Test Your Knowledge Tuesday, I’m closing it out. This will be last one. I’ve made this final question a really hard one that I know NOBODY will be able to get.

Here you go:
As you are well aware, Leonardo da Vinci was a famous Italian artist. What country was he born in?


Feel free to post answers in the comments section, or return next Tuesday to find out what the answer is.

Your time...starts...NOW!
