  1. 4 and 5-liter glass

    4 L glass 5 L glass
    4 0 (on filling 4 L glass fully.)
    0 4 (on pouring 4 Lglass into 5 L glass)
    4 4 (on filling 4 L glass fully.)
    3 5 (on pouring 4 Lglass into 5 L glass)
    3 0 (on removing 5 L glass)
    0 3 (on pouring 4 Lglass into 5 L glass)
    4 3 (on filling 4 L glass fully.)
    2 5 (on pouring 4 Lglass into 5 L glass)

Hence the desired result.

0 3 (on filling 3 L glass fully.)
3 0 (on pouring 3 L glass into 4 L glass)
