You pour five liters into the five liter jug. Then, you move three liters over to the three liter jug. Empty the three liter jug and pour the remaining two liters into it. Now, fill the five liter jug up. Pour one liter into the three liter jug, filling it and leaving you with four.
This is an old computer science puzzle.

I know another way!
- Fill the 3 litre jug and pour in the 5 litre jug.
- Fill the 3 litre jug again, and pour 2 litres in the remaining volume of the 5 litre jug.
- You are left with 1 litre in the smaller jug. Empty the 5 litre jug and pour in the 1 litre.
- Fill the 3 litre jug completely, and pour it in the 5 litre jug.
Voila :)
UnationConsideration:
....Urhm im confused..
LeoReborn:
I think Spirit has enough Problems, without Raikt/Jerry answering for him.
YouHearThat:
1. If you were force to destroy a country, which one would you pick to destroy and why?
2. Ham or Tuna? and why?

Ok, so I was going to use this question in a video....only because i had yet a third way (which i thought of first), but since two people already answered it, I think I will just discuss it here instead....also, Raikt, I was trying to follow your answer, and maybe I missed some detail, or maybe you didn't explain it properly, but it didn't seem to make sense.
Jerry, yeah, that's how I did it too. Take that computer science, creative thinking test, thingy. Will you hire me now Steve Jobs?
Anyway, my third answer is a little easier, but then again, also less accurate. I figure, especially depending on the radius of the jugs, and if the two different sized jugs are otherwise identical, that 3L and 5L really aren't that far apart. For simplicity sake, I would place them side by side, and then just fill the water to the half way point between the two jugs.
Actually, now that I think about it, this could be the most theoretically accurate way. If you fill the water to the brim on the jugs, you are likely to spill some in the process, therefore losing some of the exact measurements.
But I digress.
Also, I might make a new video to answer some questions tonight....There are some interesting ones indeed.
