A classic water pouring problem starts with 2 unmarked bottles that can hold 3 liters and 5 liters, respectively, and a bathtub with unlimited water. How can 1 liter of water be measured into the smaller bottle? The animated solution below shows the progress of a solution on a triangular grid. Do you see the connection to the billiard shot?
