    Resolved Brainteaser... [resolved] <- that's something you don't see much here :D

    Hello all,

    I have a problem I can't quite figure out.

    I have to containers: Container A filled with water and containter B filled with acid.



    The two containers are connected with a small pipe filled with water so the height of the liquids remains the same.

    Then slowly the water out of container A will be drained so the acid out of container B will start flowing into A (as they are connected by the pipe) increasing the molarity slowly. The contents of container A are stirred constantly, so the acid that enters A will be distributed over the fluid equally and (almost) instantly.

    Now, will the last drop of C be 100% acid or 50/50 water/acid?

    No matter how fool-proof your program is, there will always be a better fool.
