Fill 3 gallon pour into 5
Fill 3 gallon again pour into 5.
That leaves 1 gallon left in the 3.
Pour out the 5 gallon, add 1 gallon from the 3.
Fill 3 gallon again and pour into 5 = 4 gallons in the 5.

Your last good ping-pong ball fell down into a narrow metal pipe imbedded in concrete one foot deep.
How can you get it out undamaged, if all the tools you have are your tennis paddle, your shoe-laces, and your plastic water bottle, which does not fit into the pipe?

A man is traveling with a fox and two chickens, if he leaves the fox alone with the chickens the fox will eat the chickens. He comes to a river and needs to cross it, he finds a small boat that can carry only him and one animal, how does he get himself, the fox and two chickens across the river safely?

He throws the chickens across the river (because he's an American and grew up playing real football), then loads the fox in the boat and paddles across.

With that kind of logic Tennis, Baseball, Hurling, Lacrosse, Handball and possibly even Golf should also be called football.

And how come that, unlike in Rugby Union Football, you score a touchdown without actually touching anything down?
