Brain Teaser
You have a bottle of Pepsi and a bottle of Sprite, both containing the exact same amounts in each.
You pour exactly 1 cup of the Pepsi into the Sprite. You mix thoroughly.
You then pour exactly 1 cup of that mixture back into the Pepsi bottle.
Will there be more percentage Pepsi in the Sprite bottle, percentage Sprite in the Pepsi, or equal percentages?
(No tricks to this brain teaser. There are exactly the same quantities in each bottle, with more than enough to pour a cup from each without spillage.)

Re: Brain Teaser
If each bottle is exactly one cup then the percentages of Pepsi and Sprite in each bottle after mixing will be equal.
Therefore, it should be equal percentage no matter how many cups in each bottle, I would think.

Equal percentages but I don't feel like doing the math.

You're making me move some dust bunnies around in my brain!

Re: Brain Teaser
It seems like there should be a higher % if pepsi in the sprite, unless I am missing something obvious (which I do from time to time).

Unless Pepsi and Sprite react chemically, I'll stick with my answer.

Re: Brain Teaser
My point was in reference to dust bunnies. The brain teaser has no tricks. And of course, your answer is correct.
