Water Jugs
Measure the exact amount — the Die Hard riddle
Water Jugs is the timeless measuring riddle — yes, the one from Die Hard. Using jugs of fixed sizes, hit an exact target amount by filling, emptying and pouring between them. Pure multi-step planning.
How to play
- You're given jugs of set capacities and a target amount.
- Fill, empty, or pour between jugs (or, in decant mode, only pour).
- Get any single jug to hold exactly the target.
- Fewer moves scores higher — undo and reset are free.
