Another Puzzle: Water & Wine

[zephyr3d]

no wonder i dont know the answer to it........ i failed my maths in highschool.

rollakid, lets make life easier

initial volume:300ml per glass

take out 100ml of water to put into wine

you are left with 200ml of pure water in the water glass,
and 400ml of 3:1 wine/water mixture in the other (i.e. 75% purity)

now, take 100ml from that mixture (i.e. 75ml wine and 25ml water) to return to the water glass.
you are left with (300-75)ml of wine, and (100-25)ml of water in your wine glass

final result: in water glass (75ml wine and 225ml water)
in wine glass (225ml wine, 75 water). they are equal.

lol, i got an easier one..

1 cup 100ml...

pour 1 cup of water into the wine (consider cup can hold 200ml but you only use 100ml)

then stir the wine/water mix

then pour back 100ml into the water cup..

tadaa... both 50% contaminated... so its the same lol lol..

hmm...quite the same, cant argue there.

wah, very blur already......not only blur reading the question but also blur reading all the answers.......

 

[zephyr3d]

ya... especially for a mathematically challenged person like me.

Yawn...so when is the answer going to be announced?

 

[CcL]

dah announced la.... read up dude :)

 

[si|verfish]

Eh??? Jadi??? Equal contamination???

If that's really the case, then this question blows. That's not a puzzle, that's a goddamn maths equation.

 

[Duke Red]

if that's the case, i like silverfish's conclusion better.

 

[si|verfish]

Yeah, it's anticlimatic for the answer to be a sort of "1 + 1 = 2" kind of thing.

I was expecting it to be a "1 + 1 = 3 explain why" situation.

Booooo!!!!!!!
