PN, I'd have to say your answer does not solve the puzzle. You say draw the line x=100. That's already seven lines before you start - yours makes eight. If you can assume some existing indication of "100", you don't even have to draw one line; just point to the "100". So it seems clear that you can't assume an existing "100" indicator. Take a blank sheet of paper and create "100" with a single line.

Think about it more carefully. Hint: There was a riddle once about an archaeologist who "found" a rare coin with the inscribed date 34 BC.

Probably already posted, so I won't use a spoiler. fill 3. 3->5. fill 3. 3->5. empty 5. 3->5 [1 gal]. fill 3. 3->5.

But the OP says ... the man didnt have to pay for the operation. With that answer, you ask "what operation"? The answer has to be an operation that neither succeed nor failed, namely ___?___.
