So I recently got asked this question in an interview and am wondering what the hell the right answer is. What are your thoughts?
You and another person are sitting at a table with a full glass of water between you. The other person drinks 50% of the water and then you drink 50% of what's left. Then they drink 50% of what's left and so on until the water (hypothetically) is gone. What is the percentage of water they drank versus the percentage of water you drank?
I think you end up drinking 1/3 and they end up drinking 2/3 but really I have no damn idea.
