You got a 4gallon and a 9gallon container, an unmarked container,
and a huge water supply.
You wanna end up with exactly 6 gallons in the unmarked container.
YES: the unmarked container > 6 gallons!
You mission is do it in exactly 9 moves, and using the minimum
number of gallons of water from the water supply.
A "move" is any pouring and/or filling; as example, filling the
9gal from the water supply, then pouring to fill the 4gal container,
then emptying it out is 3 moves: fill-pour-empty.
How do you do it?
