You `ll have to explain this one to me when the answer comes out.
Got it: $1, $2, $4, $8, $16, $32, $64, $128, $256, $489.
Dumb mistake on the first run, getting late for my brain

All correct mate well done on that one it was hard
The contents or the ten envelopes (in dollar bills) should be as follows: $1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 489. The first nine numbers are in geometrical progression, and their sum, deducted from 1,000, gives the contents of the tenth envelope.

You have two container, a 5 gallon and a 3 gallon container. How do you measure out 4 gallons?

Tip one gallon out of the 5 gallon. The 3 gallon can`t take any more.
Close but not close enough sorry
USE the 3 gallon twice to fill the 5, empty the 5 then tip the remaining gallon into the 5 , refill 3 and tip into 5 to give exactly 4.
Very good mate you watched the movie lol
Fill up the 3 gallon container and pour the 3 gallons into the 5 gallon container.
Then, fill the 3 gallon container back up, and pour it into the 5 gallon container.
The 3 gallon container will have 1 gallon left.
Empty the 5 gallon container.
Pour the remining 1 gallon into the 5 gallon container.
Then fill the 3 gallon container back up and pour it into the 5 gallon container.
Thus, you have 4 gallons.
