Easier way to explain this. 100lbs and 1% is solid matter. So that's 1lb solid matter. They dry out and now it's 2% solid matter. But still only 1lb. And if 1lb is 2% of the total weight, then the total weight must be 50lb. You don't even have to do the water % math this way to get the same result.

The paradox lays in the way the question is asked, confusing between percentages and quantities. By removing 1 part of water out of 99, the solid goes from 1% to 1,01% and not 2%, while the water goes from 99% to 98,99%. How much water do you need to remove to get the solid become 2%? Way easier to understand.

I suspect you misunderstood the point of my original comment, so I'm not sure what point your replies are refering to.

The important point (like in the video) is the % of solid, not the total weight. So more cheese in mass does not change the percentage of solid in the cheese. You still have the same amount of cheese, if you take the % of the volume. So it is a paradox if you choose to use the % instead of the real weight.

@@uweschroeder This isn’t an assumption at all. Losing weight from 99% of water for 100 lb to 98% of water entails that the total weight on which the 98% water is obtained must be decreased to 50 lb, namely, solid accounts for 2% of weight, still 1 lb, and water must be 49 lb now.
@uweschroeder Жыл бұрын
@@yongmrchen So assume you weigh 100kg, 1% of which are solids. So it's 99kg of water and 1 kg of solids. Now you take a laxative and expel 1% of the water, that is about 990grams of water. That does not mean that the solids are suddenly 1.9kg, because you don't weigh 100kg anymore. So doing the "it's suddenly 2% solids" is nothing but a percentage calculation that has no base in reality, because the new 100% of which to base your solids content is less than the 100kg. By the end of the day, what you do is increase the solids concentration, so you mess with the mixture but one percent of 99% is still 0.99% and not 50% PS: What you assume is that the ratio of solids to water remains constant, but that isn't the case or dehydration wouldn't work.
@yongmrchen Жыл бұрын
@uweschroeder Actually, I think you totally misunderstood what the key information in the so-called paradox but not-a-paradox-at-all case. The decrease in the potato weight that is measured, and entirely caused, by the decresae of water from the original 99% of total weight to the current 98% of total weight (this can only happen when you end up having 49 lb water and 1 lb solid, and solid remains unchanged) is NOT the same as the water that decreases from 99% of the water to the 98% of the water. If the question itself may not be so clear, the explanation in the video is crystal clear.

Why would you take away the 1% of water and add 1% of the potato solids? the water doesn't become a solid it just goes away and the rest of the 99% of the potato would become the new 100% as the 1% of the water that has dried up is no longer part of the potato.

The problem is the *98% and 2%* measurements of the potato, after a night has passed, *are percentages of the new potato,* not the original... let me explain: If the potato is 100kg and 1% of that weight is solid, then the solid obviously weighs 1kg and the water weighs 99kg. Then you take away 1% of the weight, in water, and you are left with 98kg of water, and still 1kg of the solid. Thus the potato *does weigh 99kg.* The error is in saying the unchanged solid is then 2% of the potato's total weight. If the solid (1kg) was 2% of the potato, then yes, it would weigh 50kg in total. *But you wouldn't presume this is the case, the way he describes it.* 1kg, after the removal of some of the water actually accounts for 1/99 or ~1.0101%. Hopefully this clears it up for some people :) And yes, I know I used kg, but it doesn't make a difference as we are discussing percentages and unspecified measurements, also I'm not sure what the abbreviation for pounds is, or really how they work at all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The opposite of this is telling people that one drink a day doubles your risk of throat cancer. Okay, so instead of the risk being like 1 in 1,000 it's closer to 2 in 1,000. That's an increase of only 0.1% of the sample size, but it's still a 100% increase in throat cancer risk. (Not the actual risk assessment figures; just numbers used as a hypothetical example)

He literally said in the video that not all paradoxes have no clear answer. Feel free to search up the definitions of paradox. Since many see the progression of 1 to 2 as 1+1 rather than 1*2, many get a wrong answer at first, therefore it is a paradox. It's _kind_ of like, "the more you cut at a net, the fewer holes there will be" or, "the more you remove from a hole, the larger it is." It's completely logical, but it may seem illogical at first.

Hey kevin! A simple way to explain it is that. The 1% of solid potato is equal to 1lbs. Since the weight of the solid doesn’t change, only its proportion to its weight in which it becomes 2%. So 1lbs / 2% = 50lbs Therefore 50lbs less 1lbs of solid is equal to 49 which apparently the weight of the water. Flies away..

Truth. This guy has no clue how to do math. I don't understand how there's 29K upvotes and 4K downvotes... Should clearly be the other way around as this is about as flawed as it can get. If he said that 1% to 2% is a change of 1 percentage point he would be right, but he doesn't say that. How does the solids suddenly change from 1% to 2%? No explanation for that is given o.O Clearly if 99% (99 kg) is water and 1% (1 kg) is solids then if 1% of the water evaporates that leaves 99 - (99 * 0.01) = 98.01 kg water and the same 1 kg solids as before, a total of 99.01 kg is left after one night. So the composition is now 1 / 99.01 = 1.0099% solids and 98.01 / 99.01 = 98.9900% water (both results rounded to 4 decimals).

It's not really a paradox, it is more a mind trick where the instinctive response by the brain is wrong, because the brain prefers to take instinctive short cuts than expend energy working things out properly. To over-ride this instinctive reaction, it helps to understand what a percentage actually means, once you realise it is a fraction, then you can think how do you double or halve a fraction by operating on the numerator or denominator, then you get to the logical answer.

The problem with using that definition is that instead of a pardox *being* an *actual* contradiction in logic, a paradox can just be anything that doesn't *seem* to, or anything a person *feels* doesn't make sense, regardless of the logical soundness or whether there *are* any contradictions in the proposed paradox. It therefore becomes subjective based on who's deciding whether there is or isn't a paradox, and much less specific, and (I think) less useful as a word. A person can make the assumption that heavy objects fall faster than light objects, and can *call* it a paradox all they like when their "logic" doesn't match up with reality, but there is no contradiction; it's just that person being wrong and not knowing basic things. If we use the more objective definition, I am not wrong in saying that the potato paradox isn't a paradox because there's no contradiction. And if we use the subjective definition, I'm still not wrong in saying it's not a paradox because it *seems* to me to make sense, and therefore isn't a paradox *to me* . Or are we defining paradoxes based solely on what the majority think, which is often wrong, rather on any actual logic?

He then increased the solid to liquid RATIO in a way that would not happen in reality. He is correct that the weight of the solid does not change but that does not mean it magically becomes 2% but would take up a proportional percentage compared to the water content. The question is ridiculous plain and simple.
