A man had a 10-gallon keg full of wine, and an empty jug. On Monday he drew off a jugful of wine and filled up the keg with water. On Friday, after the wine and water had been thorougly mixed, he drew off another jugful and again filled up the keg with water. The keg then contained equal quantities of wine and water.
What was the capacity of the jug?

re: I just read the question correctly by Bob)
That's what I was trying to say when I read the question correctly. There are only 2 jugs drawn, rather than the 5 I used to calculate.
BUT IF....5 jugs were drawn to get a 50/50 mix, it would be a .43 gallon jug.
