Not a factor here.

If so, then the answer is:
48 angry 911 owners.

Nope.

Hint:

Is a broken clock ever right?
Yes, once a day.
Good answer - but not good enough.

Mo_G playing with marbles; that's good...and a requirement, don't forget.

If you replace "is" with "could be", then "is" true.

I think what he's getting at is that even without a uniform mixture, the amount of water/ink will be the same, even if you can't say what that percentage is.

Say you take 1 ounce of ink and put it in the water, but do not mix it. Then you take 1 ounce out of this mixture, but you have no way of knowing what percentage of that ounce is ink. So, if this ounce has x ounces of ink (some fraction of 1 ounce) then the eyedropper has (1-x) ounces of water. When you add it to the ink, you now have (9+x) ounces of ink and (1-x) ounces of water. (9+x)+(1-x)=10 ounces

So in the water you had 10 ounces, added 1 ounce of ink, then removed x ounces of ink and (1-x) ounces of water. So the amount of water is [10-(1-x)]=(9+x) and the amount of ink is (1-x).

Well, you stated "No word games" ?

A broken clock is correct TWICE a day (day = 24 hours) unless you are saying once each day - and once each night?


YOUR QUESTION:

"Does the bottle of water contain more ink than the bottle of ink contains water"


MY ANSWER : No

I thought it obvious - even if the 'lottery winner' by chance picked the black marble and replaced it in the Ink Jar - the answer to your posed question remains the same. No.

WINNAH!

And proven using the min. ammt. of marbles necessary!

Congrats!

Not if it's digital. So the answer could be zero, one, or two.

Second place winnah!

You'd have tied Mo with a marble proof - unless you used more marbles than he did.

So the ink contains more water.

Edit: This is assuming a homogenious mixture. If not, no idea what you scoop out.

I messed up with a decimal point in my calculation.

They are the same!!

Too bad. Time to pick up your marbles and go home.

[PRE-H20]

Begin with a 10 oz. jar of water and a 10 oz. jar of ink.

blah blah blah

Does the bottle of water contain more ink than the bottle of ink contains water?

you didnt tell us how many ounces of water the bottle has.......... if you tell us how many ounces the bottle has compared to the jar its simple.

[M.D. Holloway]

Is the ink well sorted out?

[sammyg2]

Wait, we start with a 10 oz. jar, but you don't actually tell us how much water or ink is in the jars. One could be a 10 oz jar of water that is only 1/4 full!

[lm6y]

What the hell does this have to do with snow tires, or a Dillon reloading machine?

[VaSteve]

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to stir it or not. Or shake violently.

Why start a new thread-

Smith lives on 13th Ave. which has houses numbered from 13 to 1300.
Jones wants to know the number of Smith's house.

Jones asks: "Is it less than 500?"
Smith answers - but he lies.

Jones asks: "Is it a perfect square?"
Smith answers - but he lies again.

Jones asks: "Is it a perfect cube?"
Smith answers and this time tells the truth.

Jones says: "If I knew whether or not the second figure was '1' - I could tell you the number of the house.

Smith tells him whether or not the second figure is '1' and Jones announces what he thinks is the number of the house.
But he is wrong.

Question : What is the number of Smith's house?
