Fill the 7 litre and pour into the 5. there's now 2L in the 7L jug. Empty the 5L and pour the 2L from the 7L into the 5L. Refill the 7L and top up the 5L. It will take 3L to do this, leaving 4L in the 7L jug.

How do you measure 4 liters of water if you have a 7-liter and a 5-liter bucket?
This method works with any such problem, as long as the two buckets' liter-capacities (or gallon capacities, etc.) have no common factors, or else the common factors are also factors of the amount you're trying to measure. Fill the 7-liter bucket, and empty 5 liters of it into the 5-liter bucket; then dump out the 5 liters. Two liters will remain in the 7-liter bucket; transfer them to the 5-liter bucket. Fill the 7-liter bucket again, and empty enough of the bucket into the 5-liter bucket to fill it. That should only be 3 liters transfered, leaving 4 liters left in the 7-liter bucket. QED.

How do you get the liter cup on Wimpy Wonderland?
A 5-liter cup is already available for the wiper fluid when you take it to the snowplow truck to the right of the school. But you need some other way to measure the fluid. Get the Dog Dish from Rodrick's room. To measure exactly 4 liters, fill the dog dish (3 liters) then empty the dog dish into the 5 liter cup. Fill the dish (3 liters) from the bottle again and there will be 4 liters left unpoured.
