Move the Water

How to Play

Your goal in this game is to get exactly 7 gallons into the 11 gallon bucket. Since there are no indicators where other gallon markers are, you have to fill up a bucket entirely (3 gallons or 11 gallons) to know the exact amount. How it works:

1. To completely fill a bucket, first select the red faucet box in the upper right corner. The box will turn blue. Then, select a bucket and it will be filled to its total amount.

2. To empty a bucket, select the bucket. Then, select the green trash can on the right side to empty all the water in the bucket.

3. If you pour one bucket into the other, it fills the remaining as much of the bucket as it can and keeps the remaining water.

Example: If the 11 gallon bucket has 9 gallons in it, and you pour the 3 gallon bucket into it, the 11 gallon bucket would have 11 gallons in it, while the 3 gallon bucket would only have 1 gallon left (3 gallons minus the 2 gallons poured into the other bucket).

As with most math problems, it is easiest to work backwards from the goal.
