Dividing Soda (24; 5, 11, 13)

#1140.14

You have a cola to divide with two friends. It's a large cola, which is 24 ounces, in a large paper cup. You find three other cups that hold 5, 11, and 13 ounces respectively. How can you pour the cola around so that you make three equal portions? (Neglect the ice.)
