What if the lift can only hold ±3 people? Wouldn't it have crashed before the five people got out?

If there are three people in a lift and when it stops, five of them get out, then two have to get back in so that it's empty.

But how does the milkman know he has a three gallon jug and a five gallon jug? And even if he did know, how would he know that the jugs remain the same size when filled with milk?

First, fill the three gallon jug. Pour that into the five gallon jug. Fill the three gallon jug again. Using that jug, fill the five gallon jug. There will be one gallon left over in the three gallon jug.

The milkman holds the nine gallons in his mouth and then spits them in bottles or something?

Then he drinks the three gallons from the smaller jug. Then he pours three gallons from the bigger jug to the smaller one. Then he drinks the three gallons from the smaller jug. Now there's one gallon in the bigger jug, nothing in the smaller jug, and nine galllons in the milkman.

There is also a simpler way to do it without the milkman consuming milk.

I decided to post another logic puzzle on here.
A milkman has two empty jugs: a three gallon jug and a five gallon jug.
How can he measure exactly one gallon without wasting any milk?
