The riddle should be

Riddle:
Using only a 3 liter Jug and a 5 liter Jug, marked in no other way and a tap that can supply an infinite amount of water please measure exactly 4 liters of water. (3)

That changes things indeed, I thought it was way too easy.

Right, new answer in that case:

Spoiler

1. fill 3 liter jug from tap
2. empty 3 liter jug into 5 liter jug
3. fill 3 liter jug from tap
4. fill 5 liter jug from 3 liter jug until full (this leaves 1 liter in 3L jug)
5. empty 5L jug
6. fill 5L jug from 3L jug, i.e. 5L jug now has 1L in it
7. fill 3L jug from tap
8. fill 5L jug from 3L jug -> 5L jug now has 4 liters in it

Still pretty straightforward.

A different method for the 4L again.

Truly there is truth in the saying "there is more than one way to fill a jug to exactly four Litres"

How does this work then? Each individual word has 90, 000 plus results, but together they only have 1?

Googlewhack!

[Macros]

I have a feeling he cheated and already knew it was a googlewhack. I just picked two random words in my head and didn't test them.

Shenanigans!

[Gorefest]

Same here. Were we supposed to get a googlewhack? I thought the aim was no hits at all?
