Ron,
Two parts water to one part sugar.:scratchchin: The math I was taught:teacher: says that is a 2 to 1 mixture.:yes: Or:confused3: is this just a time where you hit:bullseye: the 3 key, instead of the

Ron, I'm afraid this time you're mistaken and Brandi was right. I hope you don't use your formula to mix gasoline and oil for 2 cycle engines.:laughing: A 3 to 1 ratio means 3 of one thing and 1 of the other.
However, I can see your point about the sugar dissolving, so it does not displace as much volume as it did before mixing, so you have less than 1.5 cups of the final mixture.
Bird,
I am surprised at your reply.
If you read again what I said you will see it concerned the volume of the mix components. That has nothing to do with it being a 2:1 ratio, which is so fundamental it is irrelevant.
What is relevant, and the reason I described it that way, concerns the way sugar dissolves.
People familiar with cooking and dissolving sugars, flower, and other ingredients, use the "add liquid to make" rule. Many make hummer syrup the same way. The measured volume of sugar has enough water added/mixed to make it a thick liquid, then it is topped off with water to a final volume and stirred a little more.
Topping off 4 oz. of sugar with water to make 1.5 cups total is not the same strength as my description.
Whether Brandi felt compelled to chime in to be cute or insulting is only known by her. Nowhere did I refute that the individual ingredients were a 2:1 ratio.
As far as your oil and gas comparison, if you add one gallon of oil to 2 gallons of gasoline you still have a mix that started out as 1/3 (33.3%) oil and 2/3 (66.6) gasoline and is a simple ratio of 2:1
Rain started here during the night and expect 1-2 inches of snow and a low of 9 degrees tonight, so you guys are doing pretty well, weatherwise IMO
