Ok, this question is gonna be a little different than before. This time, there's no mystery involved, just logic. Whoever gets the answer right and posts first wins.

Sally needs to measure out exactly 6 cups of water, but she can find only 2 containers. One only holds exactly 5 cups of water. The other only holds exactly 8 cups (and there's no measuring out half either). How from these 2 containers can she measure out the 6 cups of water she needs?

poor the 8 into the 5 leaving 3, poor the 5 away, poor the remaining 3 cups from the 8 into the 5, refill the 8 then fill the 5 whith the 8, leaving 6 cups worth in 8
