[FONT="]You have two 3 litre vessels. The first contains oil while the second contains vinegar. [/FONT]
[FONT="]You have two spoons, each can scoop out k litres of liquid, and you use the spoons to [/FONT]
[FONT="]transfer k litres between each vessel. That is, you take a spoon from one vessel, a spoon [/FONT]
[FONT="]from the other and then you transfer their contents over to the other vessel. You mix [/FONT]
[FONT="]the vessels thoroughly so that each vessel contains a mixture of oil and vinegar. This [/FONT]
[FONT="]process is then repeated any number of times. [/FONT]
[FONT="]The question asks: [/FONT]
[FONT="]a) let x = vinegar in first vessel and u = vinegar in second vessel [/FONT]
[FONT="]show that for n rounds of the game [/FONT]
[FONT="]x(n+1) = x(n) - (k/3)x(n) +(k/3)u(n). [/FONT]
[FONT="]u(n+1) = u(n) - (k/3)u(n) +(k/3)x(n)
