28 L bucket 15 L bucket 13 L bucket Move

28 0 0 Start

13 15 0 fill 15 from 28

13 2 13 fill 13 from 15

26 2 0 empty 13 into 28

26 0 2 empty 15 into 13

11 15 2 fill 15 from 28

11 4 13 fill 13 from 15

24 4 0 empty 13 into 28

24 0 4 empty 15 into 13

Continue the pattern:

1. Fill 15 from 28

2. Fill 13 from 15

3. Empty 13 into 28

4. Empty 15 into 13

Reducing the amout of oil in the 28 liter container by 2 liters each cycle. After several more cycles of the pattern, after step 2 you will have 1 liter in the 28 L container, 14 liters in the 15 liter container, and a full 13 liter container. Then when you perform the last iteration of step 3, you will have the desired 14, 14, 0 configuration.
