what they should have done considering thw water they had, was fill them both half full.. that would be 2 1/2 gallons in the 5 gallon jug, and 1 1/2 in the 3 gallon jug, and then combine them. 2 1/2 + 1 1/2 =4. boom, they had their solution!!!
More like boom, there goes the entire block after the bomb goes off. They had to get
precisely
four gallons of water, no margin for error.

This scene is so stupid, it totally halts the film, and i've seen it give trouble to many a viewer ever since it was released. Hey everybody, lets go to school! Weeee.

In that case the bad guy would have given them a harder riddle, one that couldn't be solved through googling. Or even easier, the bad guy had them in his control, he could have easily asked them to just drop any smartphone.

Fill the 3 gallon jug, empty it into the five gallon jug. Now you have 3 gallons of water in the 5 gallon jug.
Fill up the 3 gallon jug again. Now pour 2 gallons of it into the 5 gallon jug which already has 3 gallons of water in it from before. The 5 gallon jug is now full and the 3 gallon jug has 1 gallon of water remaining in it.
Then dump the 5 gallon jug out and pour the 1 gallon of water in from the 3 gallon jug. That makes 1 gallon of water in the 5 gallon jug.
Refill the 3 gallon jug now and then pour it into the 5 gallon jug which has 1 gallon of water already in it for a grand total of 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallon jug.
