Now he had the correct total quantity in three equal-sized barrels, however, the barrels were all half full. His problem was to produce the correct quantities in each barrel. To help him he had three measuring jugs having capacity three litres, two litres and one litre. Since Burper was clearly in a fix, he telephoned his mother on her cellphone who gave the following advice.

Furthermore, each barrel must be involved in at least two transfer operations so that on each occasion, there is either a gain or loss of beer. What operations are required?
