Assuming the 10 = Cup A, 4 = Cup B and 3 = Cup C

1) Fill Cup C (A=0, B=0, C=3)

2) Pour Cup C into Cup A (A=3, B=0, C=0)

3) Fill Cup B (A=3, B=4, C=0)

4) Fill Cup C from Cup A (A=3, B=1, C=3)

5) Pour the remainder of Cup B into Cup A (A=4, B=0, C=3)

6) Empty Cup C (A=4, B=0, C=0)

7) Fill Cup B (A=4, B=4, C=0)

8) Fill Cup C from Cup A (A=4, B=1, C=3)

9) Pour the remainder of Cup B into Cup A (A=5, B=0, C=3)

10) Empty Cup C (A=5, B=0, C=0)

11) Fill Cup B (A=5, B=4, C=0)

12) Fill Cup C from Cup A (A=5, B=1, C=3)

13) Empty Cup C (A=5, B=1, C=0)

13) Pour the remainder of Cup B into Cup C (A=5, B=0, C=1)

14) Fill Cup B (A=5, B=4, C=1)

so assuming you count the filling of cups as pours your answer is 14
