Cooking For Engineers

Okay, so a host of a party has a pint bowl of water (A) and a pint bowl of fruit cocktail (b).

First he pours half a pint from the water bowl (A) into the fruit cocktail bowl (b) and then mixes it thoroughly.

Now he pours half a pint of the fruit cocktail/water mix (b) into the water bowl (A) and mixes that thoroughly.

He repeats the pouring from (A) to (b) and then from (b) to (A), mixing thoroughly each time, only this time only a quarter of a pint of the mixed fluid is poured each way.

Now the host asks his first guest if they want to sample a "strong fruit cocktail" or a "weak fruit cocktail"?

The guest says they would like a sample of the "strong" fruit cocktail.

Which bowl does he choose to pour their taster from?

(b) After the first set of pourings, (A) should be 1/3 punch while (b) is 2/3 punch. After the 1/4 pint pourings, (A) should be 40% punch while (b) is 60% punch.

Which bowl has the vodka in it? To me, that would be the "strong" fruit cocktail.
