Fill the 3-gallon bucket, empty it into the 5-gallon one. Fill it

The buckets were built by automated machines being run by a Linux machine AND
the water is straight from Linus T's faucet :)

Give me some more particulars for this. . .i mean do you want it to take user
input, make in a game sort of thing or ju
1. Fill the 5 gallon bucket using the 3 gallon bucket. Now there is 3 gallon
of water in the 5 gallon bucket. And you can add 2 more gallon of water to
fulfil it.
2. Once again fill the 5 gallon bucket using the 3 gallon bucket. Now you
have exactlt 1 gallon of water left in your 3 gallon bucket.
Fill 3 gal empty into 5 gal
Fill 3 gal fill 5 gal full.
You have 1 gal left in bucket.
Empty 5 gal pail.
pour remaining one gal into 5 gal
file three gal and empty into 5 gal pail.
voila, you have 4 gal in the five gal pail.
Sorry all, I couldn't resist.

Fill up the 3gallon bucket with water. Empty it into the 5 gallon bucket.
You now have exactly 3 gallons in the 5 gallon bucket. Fill up the 3 gallon
bucket again. Empty it into the 5 gallon bucket until you have exactly 5
gallons. This means you have removed 2 gallons from the 3 gallon bucket and
Fill the 5 gallon bucket twice and pour it into the 3 gallon bucket each
time letting the 3 gallon bucket overflow. You will have exactly 4
gallons of water all over the ground. You didn't specify where you
wanted the water so I assumed an overflow condition would be acceptable.
