The Incredible Shrinking Watermelons.
Chaim the farmer brought his produce to market one hot summer day.
Unfortunately, he left a box containing 100 lbs. of watermelon behind in the hot sun.
As you know, watermelon is made up mostly of water.
When Chaim left in the morning, the watermelons were 99% water, 1% solid.
By the time he returned they were 98% water, 2% solid.
The question: how much do the watermelons now weigh?
