Wait is this the Monty Hall problem? That's my favorite problem ever.

It can be.  If you want to show how you'd do it, put your solution in hide tags: [hide] at the beginning, and the same at the end, except with a "/" between the "[" and the "h".

You have only two buckets, one holds exactly 4 gallons of water and the other exactly 7 gallons. Neither bucket contains any markings on it. Using just these two buckets how can you bring back exactly 5 gallons of water?

I'm going to throw a tantrum cause I don't get it.

Is the first door opened and revealing a goat? If so how do you turn around and get 2/3 from two doors? There is one goat left and one car. You can flip a coin and pick one. Please someone explain it to me because the pictures FatAndFaithless posted make it seem like the door stayed shut.

But I thought we knew we were on a goat... Is the damn door open or closed? lol Are we saying the last third is the option to stay where we are?

No we don't know if we're on a goat or a car. One other door is opened and revealed to be a goat. We are asked if we want to switch to the third and final door or stay on the first door.
