my dear The dumbest people I know are those who know it all.
Whosoever wishes to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Knowledge is not intelligence.
In searching for the truth be ready for the unexpected.
Change alone is unchanging.
The same road goes both up and down.
The beginning of a circle is also its end.
Not I, but the world says it: all is one.
And yet everything comes in season.

I don't know very much, but what I do know, I know better than you and I don't want to argue about it,  A mind is not a bed to be made and re-made.

ow11:

You have not proven my answers are wrong! You only stated yours as correct which I have agreed to but my grouse is that your questions do not have absolute answers like your pope question. This you have failed to address and you go on and ask more imprecise questions that has been called to your attention by another fellow but in your obstinate stance, have refused to learn. Your lack of wit is that which is glaring here!!! I will leave you to post more of your rubbish

Note: The jugs are not calibrated
The clue is to write down the process.
