A chemist had 8 flasks 2000-12-10
From Jimmy:
A chemist had 8 flasks capable of holding 12, 15, 27, 35, 37, 40, 53 and 69 fluid ounces respectively. He filled some with water and then filled all the rest except one with alcohol. He used exactly one and a half times as much alcohol as water. Which flask was left empty and which were left with water and which with alcohol?
