There are two flasks of water on a lever scale. The left flask has a ping-pong ball tied to the bottom on a string, and the right flask has a metal ball (of the same volume as the left one) on a fishing line.
Now the question is, in which direction will the scales deflect?

 

To the left, of course.)

Oh, man, I must've screwed up.

To the side where there is more water in the flask. The condition does not say anything about the amount of water in each of the flasks. :)

Geez, I must've screwed up.

Why did you screw up?

To the left, I think.

 
No, it's to the right.

Well, that, of course, is also the right answer.

the ping-pong ball weighs more than nothing, so it will outweigh the bowl
