Fill the 3 gallon bottle, and pour it into the 5 gallon one. Refill the 3 gallon and pour into the 5 gallon until full. This leaves one gallon in the 3 gallon bottle. Empty the 5 gallon bottle and empty the 3 gallon bottle into the 5 gallon bottle. This now holds one gallon. Fill the 3 gallon bottle again, and pour into the 5 gallon bottle. You now have 4 gallons in the 5 gallon bottle.
Fill the 5, pour into the 3. You have 2 left in the 5.
Empty the 3, pour in the other 2 from the 5.
Fill the 5.Pour 1 more into the 3 and voila - you have 4 in the 5.
Ok, Magyar - there are two ways to get there.
