Hi.
Just want some math advice on a silly argument me and do just had. He has gone to bed in a huff and I'm left with his you are thick ringing in my ears! <br /> <br /> Basically arguing over an bottle of spirits! <br /> He argues that as its 40% alcohol, therefore 5cl would have 2cls of pure alcohol. <br /> <br /> Whilst I agreed in theory and on paper this would be true, at no point could you extract 2 CLS from the said 5cls to make pure alcohol unless you used some form of method to abstract it. Therefore, any 2cl poured forward or backward from a glass would still only have 40% alcohol not 100 in that 2cl. <br /> <br /> I admitted that his way works theoretically, but practically it
s not possibly.
Am I wrong?
