    You have 2 plastic jugs filled with water.
    How can you transfer both jugs of water into a barrel and still know which water was from which jug?

    Umm... put some sort of divider into the barrel? Or put the actual jugs into the barrel without pouring the water out...

    Or....
    PÎss in one jug, and leave the other as pure water.
    Freeze them both.
    When frozen, take the blocks of frozen water (ie: ice) and place them in the barrel.

    Now you will have both of the jugs' contents in the barrel.

    You will know which one is which, by the subtle taste of pÎss.

    You'd have to have a super freezer. The **** water wouldn't freeze due to thee high salt content. SORRY DUMBASS!

    Errrm, actually, salt makes water freeze at a higher temperature. You never did the ice cube trick with a string and some salt? And you shouldn't call poeple dumbass, that's like...errm..mean!

    aaaaaa no lad.
    Salt makes water freeze at a LOWER temperature. That is why in sub zero conditions the sea is usually still liquid (since salt and other impurities).

    And congrads. You do freeze the water smile.gif

    HAH!
    TCT, it was not stated that there was no access to said 'super freezer' and I'll thank you to keep your DUMBASS comments to yourself.

    Wait a minute. I am pretty sure salt makes water a lot denser which is why people can float on the black sea, because it's just so damn salty. And denser liquids freeze at a higher temperature which is why when you sprinkle salt onto an ice cube with a string on it, the water will freeze and attach the string to it.

    well lads salt in water lowers its frezzeing point ie below 0 that is why when u add salt to ice it melts it.
