Potato paradox

<p>The&nbsp;<em>potato paradox</em>&nbsp;is a very simple paradox, but many people find it quite surprising, and confusing, or might even refuse to believe it.</p> <p>Suppose you buy 100 kg of potatoes. Potatoes contain water, of course, and these particular potatoes contain 99% water.</p> <p>Overnight, some of the water in the potatoes evaporates, so by the morning, the potatoes contain 98% water. How much do the potatoes now weigh?</p> <p><a href="https://mcbride-martin.medium.com/potato-paradox-baeb1c2984a9"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
