One morning, a milkman was on his way to his shop with two 80-liter cans of milk when he met two women who begged him to sell them 2 liters of milk each right there. Mrs. Green had a 5-liter jug, and Mrs. Brown had a 4-liter jug, while the milkman had no measuring tools.

How did the milkman manage to pour exactly 2 liters of milk into each jug? The second portion was the most challenging for him. However, he successfully accomplished the task in just 9 operations. (An "operation" is defined as pouring either from the can into a jug, from one jug to another, or from a jug back into the can.)

How did the milkman proceed to achieve this?
