Beaker Transferrence
#1
Say you have two beakers. Beaker A contains 95 units of water and in beaker B, 10 units of water. Now if you transfer B's contents into A by hand, you'll have 100 (+5) units of water in beaker A. However, beaker B now contains 0 units of water.
You can probably see something is off. Where did the other 5 units go? Did it vanish? Did your clumsy spaceman overflow the beaker and get the floor wet like a goofball?

I'm not sure for how long this has been happening. Forever? I'd think I would have noticed it in all my years, but I'm not exactly a nerd-tier chemist either.
