A bowl contains 10 spoons of snake blood—another ingredient of the elixir. The scientist has two ladles: one holds 3 spoons and the other holds 4 spoons.
Warning: The solution must be done in no more than 5 pourings, otherwise the blood will coagulate and become useless.
Goal: Measure exactly 5 spoons of blood.
You can only pour between the bowl and ladles. Each pour counts toward the limit!
