RE: A toughy…
sorry do not get it where you got the 500 grams.

RE: A toughy…
Right… answer time! 🙂
Originally, 1% of the total weight is sponge (10g of the total 1000g).
After squeezing, 2% of the total weight is sponge. The sponge its self still only weighs 10g, so the weight of the wet sponge must be 500g. (since 2% of 500g = 10g)
Hope you understood that… if not tell me. 🙂

[updated:LAST EDITED ON 03-10-02 AT 07:09 PM (GMT)]970.2 says me calculator – but as someone said, it’s obviously going to be something different!

I agree shorty even if I didn’t the final calculation

RE: A toughy…
1 kg = 1000 grams
1% is own weight = 10 grams.
100% water = 990 grams
990 gr. * 0,98 = 970,2 gr.
970,2 + 10 gr. =
980,2 gr When I’m not correct.
But it will certainly be such an stuppid joke 🙁

RE: A toughy…
10grammes + (0.98*0.99)*1kg
