Here is the challenge:

Bruce and Samuel found the puzzle with the bomb, beside a fountain in a city park.

On the fountain's edge there was an empty 3 gallon bucket and an empty 5 gallon bucket.

The message on the bomb said that the only way to diffuse it was to place EXACTLY 4 gallons of water on the pressure sensitive pad attached to the bomb's arming mechanism. They only had 2 minutes to figure out how to do this or the bomb would explode.

Can you figure out in two minutes how they did it with just the two buckets?
