Water Question.
You have two plastic jugs filled with water and a barrel. How could you put all of this water into the barrel, without using the jugs or any dividers, and still tell which water came from which jug?

How about: upend the barrel on top of the 2 jugs? You'll have put the water in the barrel, and the jugs won't have moved so you'll still know which jug contains which water portion.
