1 - Pour one litre from A into C. There are 4 litres left in A and C is full with 3 litres.
2 - Pour two litres from C into B. B is now full and you've exactly 1 litre left in C.

And the second half of the question!

And the second half of the question!

Oh yeah!

1 - Fill the 5 pint glass and pour it into the 4 pint. Empty the 4 pint glass and you are left with 1 pint in the 5 pint glass, which you pour into the 4 pint glass. Pour the 5 pint into the 4 pint again and you'll be left with 2 pints in the 5 pint glass.

2 - Same idea. Fill the 3 pint glass, pour it into the 4. Refill the 3 and pour it into the 4. 2 pints in the 3.

(I changed the values for this and worked it out in my kitchen this morning. My wife thinks I'm weird(er).

Part of the reason I used different units of measurements.
"Answer can't be that, it must be something else"

Just explain it was the Grim Reaper that got you doing it in the first place!

Indians
I am a famous Shawnee. Remove my 3rd to last letter, and then read the remaining last 3 letters backward, and you have an edge, rim or border. My first letter is the last letter in a word for ice cream in a glass with syrup and whipped cream (are you hungry yet? Are you?). Tell me:
1. Who I am and
2. What the "ice cream in a glass" word indicated above

It's been a while since anyone posted on here...

1 - Tecumseh (hem being the edge)
2 - Parfait

Parfait took me longer to realise, not being much of a dessert eater.

Still without an answer
Going For A Stroll.
On a warm spring day in 1944, a man strolled from his apartments on the 4th floor of the building he was living in and proceeded up the avenue toward the giant archways at the end. The building he left was near the opposite end of the avenue by the rail station. In the middle of his walk he stopped for a seat beneath a large chestnut tree that lined the wide through-fare (indeed he believed it to be the widest in the city) and pondered the following bit of interesting information. The building he was staying at was on a street with more then twenty addresses but certainly fewer then five hundred and all numbered one, two, three, four, etc from start to finish. The sum of all the addresses from one right up to, and including, his were exactly half of the sum of all the addresses from one up to, and including, the last.

What is the man's name?

Something German? my wartime Paris geography isnt up to much tho. Von Choltitz?

Sorry, just getting over cracking my skull open. Clear thinking hasn't been one of my strong points.
This isn't a question more an explanation.
