Riddle me this

Correct!

and clever...more alliteraton

Time for some of my classics, I think...

I have one glass of milk and another of water. I take a spoonful of water and then mix it with the milk, then I take a spoonful of the milk and water solution and mix it with the water. Is there more milk in the water than water in the milk, or vice versa?

spoon of water -> milk glass
spoon of milk + water -> water glass

Obviously since the spoon is the same, there's more water in the milk.
Or not?

Afraid not!

Oh, but why? Hmm, I'll think it some more.
None of the two. It's the same.

Can you justify that, or is it a guess?

Oh, that means it's correct! YAY! 😄 😄 😄
Umm, justifying, let's see...

1. water: y litres
milk: x litres

2. water: y - a
milk: x + a

3. water: y - a + b
milk: x + a - b

a: spoon full of water quantity
b: spoon full of water and milk quantity

3. w: y - a + b = y - (a - b) = y - (water - water + milk) = y - milk = water
m: x + a - b = x + water - water + milk = x + milk = milk

Don't know if that makes sense but.... 😕

I'm thirsty
anyone wants a drink too?

*hands yerssot a drink*
You should go to the tavern for that! I don't have to waitress in every thread! j/k 😛

but you're doing an excellent job!

Oh, thanks, it's not very difficult to hand people their drinks but anywayzzzzz... 😄

Well... yeah, that DOES work, Evy, and you are right. The trick is that no matter what amounts or what stirring you do you bring back to the original glass an amount directly proportional to the amount you took out in a round trip so that the mixing is identical. So if you have two glasses of 20 units each, take 5 of one into the other, then you will see no matter what mix of 5 you take back the final mixing of the two glasses would be identical.

Anyone want another?

LoL, I love maths, what can I say...
I don't think I got time for more riddle, it's too late here, but post it anyway.

how many hours time difference is therer exactly evy?

Meant to be quickfire question this one... but here you go:

"I buy a painting for £70, sell it for £80, buy it for £90 and then sell it for £100. How much profit do I make?"

No profit 😄 No loss, either.

Care to explain?

Woops, re-thought it!

70 to 80: +10 (gain ten)
80 to 90: -20 +10 = -10 (lose ten)
90 to 100: +30 -10 = +20 profit of 20

Ahhh... good, that's right, well done. Fell for one of two ways to read that wrong at first, I am afraid. The other mistake is to think that you make ten pounds when you sell it, lose ten when you buy it back and make another ten when you finally sell it for a ten pound profit, but both that and your original thinking involve mis-use of numbers.

Easiest and straightest way to avoid confusion is simply to total expenditure and income- you spend £160 and get £180 back, and suddenly there is no way for the puzzle to trick you.
