    Fred brings home 100 kg of potatoes, which (being purely imaginary mathematical potatoes) consist of 99% water.

    He then leaves them outside so that they now consist of 98% water. What is their new weight?


    This is not a trick question, just pure maths.

    Answer can be found online "potato paradox" (if need to look, kindly don't paste the answer).
