Abstract

The two jugs problem is a classic problem in artificial intelligence, computer programming, discrete mathematics and cognitive psychology. We present two simple algorithms for solving the general two jugs problem and describe its implementation in Excel. Some illustrative examples are provided. Copyright © 2017 World Scientific.
