Sorry cath-hater, wrong.

And again, you also skipped the "Why?"

This can be a tough one for most as you all are trying to think of 'normal' math where ' 1 + 1 = 2'

This is CHEMISTRY and PHYSICS.  It still has math but the rules of physical properties of elements are King, and trumps simple math.

Two cups of liquid is two cups of liquid even when it is 100 proof.  Two cups equals 16 ozs or a pint. 
The two mix well and tend not to separate which why watering down booze can go unnoticed.

Sorry, wrong.

You are thinking of simple math again, that 2 cups equals two cups.

This is the one case on this planet where that 'general' rule does not apply.

Put your thinking cap on, this is a blend of chemistry and physics.

The physical properties of distilled water and pure alcohol are not what you think.

Remember as they are poured into a container they MIX.

So what is the COMBINED volume, and why is it that volume?

Okay, thinking cap is too heavy, and chemistry is above me. Is it 50%? And don't know why.

I do not understand what you mean by 50%.

How much VOLUME do you get when you mix

ONE Cup Distilled Water

ONE Cup Pure Alcohol (Actually 99.9%)

Equals   ?????????????    Cup(s) Volume


Bonus Points if you can explain your answer. (Why).

Sorry, I'm now just finishing a Cointreau (liquor) which is 34% alco (volume it says on the bottle) So I figured your answer might be 50% (volume)

I'll take it.

The volume of One cup of water with One cup of pure alcohol is only One Cup.

The reason is the molecular structure of water AND the molecular structure of alcohol are so loose that they INTERMIX completely and together only occupy the space WITHIN each other.

This is the one case where One plus one equals One.

Okay, what do bulletproof vests, windshield wipers, and dishwashers have in common?

Is it connected to the sex of the inventors and could it be that these items were invented by females?

I think, I remember that the bulletproof vest was invented by a female and so was the dishwasher, not too sure about windshield wipers... ?

Well done Kristina!! Yes all invented by females. Mary Anderson got her patent for electric windscreen wipers in 1903.  Over to you now

Thank you, Cassandra.

To be a “conchie” has the same meaning in the English and in the Spanish language...
 ... but what does it mean...?

In Aussie speak, it means 'conscientious objector'.

Oops! Here I am.

In WW11, an American conscientious objector was awarded the Medal of Honour. Who was he? And, perhaps, a brief summary of his story.

Interesting question. I have no idea, but I'm thinking it would have to be an athlete, perhaps an Olympian? I can really only think of one from WWII, so I'll say Jesse Owens? Couldn't summarize his story, and since it's probably the wrong answer I won't try. :)

Was he the medic who believed in Christianity, stood his ground ... 
... and through his firm Christian believes, which forbade him to kill,
he became a conscientious objector ...?
... And he received the Medal of Honour because he risked his own life on many occasions during the war 
in order to save the lives of many wounded soldiers whilst he rescued them ?
In other words, he "did his bit" during the war, was outstandingly brave, was in the midst of it all
and risked his own life on many occasions -
...  but  he never ever touched a gun...?

If it is him, I forgot his name ... unfortunately...

Thank you galvo...

... Every year there is one day to celebrate the "International Conscientious Objectors Day"...
 ... it is a day to remember the generations who refused to be sent to war and refused to kill,
... a day to raise awareness of the many who continue to be imprisoned for refusing to go to be part of any war ...

... which particular day of the year is it ?

I cheated, and I enlisted, either should disqualify me.

Just curious why it was a day late in London this year?
