i just put that in exactly, once without the last line being all n/a's in which case it told me that i hadnt filled out all the answers, and once with the last line being all n/a's in which case it told me it was incorrect. this card is doing my head in almost as much as 181 and it seems i am the only one :(

edit: crisis averted, tis solved now, using enigmasters original answer, no final dumping of spare into nearby flowers, and lots of n/a's. woo 15 points yay!

rach =)

Good add Atrophied. That extra step helped. Ty, one less to worry about.

Is no-one else concerned that (according to the solve page) poor Von now needs to drink 4L of water with his Clarity???

Just got this card and figured out the "right" answer, but there's a more elegant solution if the cups are cylindrical:

1) Fill both cups.
2) Pour out each one just enough so that the water line just touches the bottom of each cup. This cuts each volume in half.
3) Add the contents of the small cup to the large: 150 + 250 = 400

Don't think it works if the cups are conical at all.

Okay, I feel like an idiot. I've worked out three different solutions for myself, and then copied every different possible answer that I can find for this problem. No matter what combination of answers I try, no matter how many times I say "there are now 400ml in the 500ml cup", it doesn't seem to work. And look as hard as I can, I can't find the "N/A" option that everyone says to add. GRRRRAARRR!

...I should go calm down...
