You make one pitcher of iced tea and one pitcher of lemonade for a party. Just before the party starts, you catch a little mischievous child mixing the two beverages. The child says that only one cup of the iced tea was taken and put in the lemonade. Then, the child took only one cup of the lemonade-tea mixture that was just created and put it back into the pitcher of iced tea, hoping that no one would notice what had been done. Is there now more lemonade in the iced tea or more iced tea in the lemonade?
