Hi Lawrence,

Presumedly you continue to take one spoon from the mug of milk, stir it into
the mug of coffee, and return one spoon of the resulting mixture to the
milk. And so on.

If this is what you meant, there will always be slightly more milk in the
milk mug, though each time the mixing occurs the proportion will move
towards being more equal, though in theory it never quite gets there. A
variant on the hare and tortoise, I think.
