The glass is stirred thoughly so that the lemon-lime is completely mixed into the cola. Then the same amount of the mixture is removed from the cola glass and put into the glass with lemon-lime.

Question:
After the soda has been exchanged, is there more cola in the lemon-lime glass or more lemon-lime in the cola glass? Look over the problem and predict which of the followwing is most likely to be correct:

• More cola in the lemon-lime
• More lemon-lime in the cola
• The same in both glasses

After thinking about this problem, i feel that in the end both cups should still have the same amount of liquid in it.
