I am pleased with myself today. I asked a friend this question and he couldn't figure it out. Being math impaired myself, I tried to explain how the answer was 50#. (I just read the answer, never followed the links to the explanation)

here's my work:

Cukes=100#=99% H2O, 1%solid
So, 99%=99#, 1%= 1#
Next day, cukes=98% H2O, 2% solid
Now 1#= 2% and 2% goes into 98% 49 times (49#)
49# plus 1# = 50#

good gawd! jump back! I wanna kiss myself.

Congrats Brianna
