OT: MindTrap

I pulled this fun game out to the closet the other day called
MindTrap. Want to play?

It's made up of puzzling questions to "challenge the way you think." I
thought while the LS is in reruns during basketball (and Monk is done
for the season), I'd post some of these brainteasers to see if any of
you are sharp enough to get 'em.

As the instructions state: We realize that on occasion there may be
more than one possible answer or solution. However, we recommend that
only MindTrap's answer be accepted. I (as the poster of the problems)
will help you solve them, responding with only "yes," "no," or
"irrelevant" to your questions.

Here's a sample Q&A (be forewarned the characters and locations in
these scenarios have stupid names) ~

Q: Barney Dribble left the "Soul-Ace Hotel" and walked toward the
parking lot. Without the benefit of moonlight or any artificial light,
he was able to spot his black car 100 meters away. How was this
possible?

A: It was daylight.

OK. Get the gist? Here's the first question!

Q: Picture two plastic jugs filled with water. How could you put all
of this water into a barrel, without adding the jugs or any divider to
the barrel, and still tell which water came from which jug?
