Default Re: Probabilty Riddles

No, that's it. I warned that it wasn't too hard, but I still kind of like it. People usually either get it right away, or just never consider the possibility that the buses aren't even spaced? Here's another old famous one that I like even though it's not terribly hard (or probability related).

There is a jar of oil and a jar of vinegar. One spoonful of vinegar is poured into the oil. A spoonful is then taken back out of the oil-vinegar mixture, and poured back into the vinegar?

Is there now more vinegar in the oil, more oil in the vinegar, an equal amount of each in the other, or is it impossible to tell?
