THE
BUCKET CHALLENGE
|
.....the 5 gallon bucket | ||
In this movie, Bruce Willis and Samuel Jackson are in a race against a terroristic bomber. They have to solve some puzzles in order to prevent bombs from exploding. |
|
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? |
