are you a coffee person ?

In your mind you can follow these instructions, or if you are up for it, you can also try it out practically ;)


Beginning with a full cup of coffee, drink one-sixth of it.

Pour into the cup the same amount of milk as you have just drunk of the coffee.

Now drink one-third of the mixture.

Pour into the cup the same amount of milk as you have just drunk of the mixture.

Now drink one-half of the mixture in the cup.

Pour into the cup the same amount of milk as you have just drunk of the mixture.

Drink the whole cup of liquid.

Have you had more milk or more coffee? How much of each have you had?

  1. Exactly the same amount of the two!

    We have 1 cup of coffee, and added (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6) cups of milk = 1 cup of coffee and 1 cup of milk!
