You have a cup of tea and a cup of coffee (equal amounts), and you take a spoonful of the coffee and mix it thoroughly into the tea. Then you take a spoonful of tea and mix it with the coffee. Does the cup that had tea in it have more coffee or does the cup that had coffee in it have more tea?

Both has equal Amount -

Assume cup size is 100 ml and spoon is 10 ml
At the start : Cap1: 100 C --- Cup2:100T
Step 1: Cap1:100C - 10C = 90C ---- Cup2: 100T + 10C
Step 2: Cap 1: 90C + 9T + 1C = 91C + 9T ---- Cap2: 100T + 10C - 9T - 1C = 91T + 9C

My friends and I were enjoying the atmosphere (and food) at an authentic English pub in town.
We all ordered tea, and the barmaid brought us all our preferred variety.
She passed by each of us and asked, "Would you like milk or lemon?"
One of my friends simply said "yes" and quickly poured a bit of milk and squeezed a lemon wedge into his cup.
He passed the milk back to the young lady who smiled and said "I"ll be right back with another cup for you, sir."
My friend was confused at first, but upon her return he was happy to have a fresh cup.
What had happened to necessitate a new cup of tea?
