Glass A contains water, glass B contains wine.
You take a teaspoon of wine from glass B and transfer it to glass A, and stir it in. Now take a teaspoon of the mixture in A and transfer it to glass B.
Is there now more water in the wine than there is wine in the water, or vice versa?
I've had people argue endlessly over this yet the answer is clearly logical

I only drink scotch --- so its perfectly clear to me that if you contaminate the water with wine and then remove a teaspoon of container A, you are removing both water and wine but not in the same portion as when you placed the wine into the water container.
Answer: A full teaspoon of wine was removed and placed into the water container, but only a partial mixture of wine ever makes it back into the wine container. Therefore, there is more wine in the water container than there is water being reintroduced into the wine glass. But then I have had only two glasses of scotch--it may take more for me to doubt my answer. No, its right.

There's more wine in the water because you put the wine into the water first so the water contains wine in it . So when you go to put the water( that has some win in it) into the wine, your not putting only water into the wine but also some of the wine back into the wine.

I would say there was more wine in the water, because the wine was not diluted before it was transferred to the water
the water was diluted (with wine) when transferred to the wine, so the teaspoon from water to wine has less room for water because wine has already been introduced.

More wine in the water. You took a teaspoon of pure wine (which is 90% water, but we'll ignore that for now) and put it in the water. You then took a teaspoon of water to wine mixture (about 0.5% wine, we'll say) and put that back in the wine. So, by 0.5%, There is more wine in the water, than water in the wine.

More wine than water in glass B and more water than wine in mixture A.

There's still the same amounts of both water and wine.

I say there is more water in the wine because wine is made with water in it anyway.

Wouldn't it be the same amount? You took a teaspoon from each right and then put a teaspoon back, so both would be equal as it was to start with. Neither one has "more" of anything, you just substituted each ingredient of each glass with something else.
