  8. Potato paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potato_paradox

    Middle: 1 kg matter, 49 kg water (98% water). If the potatoes are 99% water, the dry mass is 1%. This means that the 100 kg of potatoes contains 1 kg of dry mass, which does not change, as only the water evaporates. In order to make the potatoes be 98% water, the dry mass must become 2% of the total weight—double what it was before.
