Answer / bskate
The question never states you can or can not split the
buckets. It only states you have 3 unmarked buckets.
Logically the 2 smaller buckets would be the six gallon
buckets. So you would fill the 11 gallon bucket up once and
start emptying it into one of the six gallon buckets until
the 6 gallon bucket was half full (3 gallons) leaving you 8
gallons in your original bucket. The waste would be 3 gallons.

A blindfolded man is asked to sit in the front of a carrom board. The holes of the board are shut with lids in random order, i.e. any number of all the four holes can be shut or open. Now the man is supposed to touch any two holes at a time and can do the following. ? Open the closed hole. ? Close the open hole. ? Let the hole be as it is. After he has done it, the carrom board is rotated and again brought to some position. The man is again not aware of what are the holes which are open or closed. How many minimum number of turns does the blindfolded man require to either open all the holes or close all the holes? Note that whenever all the holes are either open or close, there will be an alarm so that the blindfolded man will know that he has won.
