It was thus said that the Great Fred Cisin via cctalk once stated:
Besides slide rules, etc.
If you have an analog computer consisting of a 5 gallon bucket, and a 3
gallon bucket, and plenty of water available,
What are the steps for a PROGRAM to get a result of 4 gallons of water in
the 5 gallon bucket?
1. Fill 5g bucket
2. Fill 3g bucket from 5g bucket
3. Empty 3g bucket
4. Fill 3g bucket from 5g bucket (3g bucket will have 2g after)
5. Fill 5g bucket
6. Fill 3g bucket from 5g bucket.
This will leave 4g in the 5g bucket, and 3g in the 3g bucket.
