 * Pour 3 from 8 into 3
 * Pour 3 from 3 into 5
 * Pour 3 from 8 into 3
 * Pour 2 from 3 into 5 (5 is then full, leaving 1 in 3)
 * Pour 5 from 5 into 8
 * Pour 1 from 3 into 5
 * Pour 3 from 8 into 3
 * Pour 3 from 3 into 5 (5 had 1 in it, now it has 4, 8 also has 4, problem solved)


 * Absolutely right! Good job, Nanobug. (In the official solution we might want to show the amount of milk in each bucket for every step) Thomas

This solution is one move shorter

 * Pour 5 from 8 into 5
 * Pour 3 from 5 into 3 (leaving 2 in 5)
 * Pour 3 from 3 into 8 (now 6 in 8)
 * Pour 2 from 5 into 3
 * Pour 5 from 8 into 5 (leaving 1 in 8)
 * Pour 1 from 5 into 3 (which is now full, leaving 4 in 5)
 * Pour 3 from 3 into 8
