[u]Round 1[/u] [b]p1.[/b] In a chemical lab there are three vials: one that can hold $1$ oz of fluid, another that can hold $2$ oz, and a third that can hold $3$ oz. The first is filled with grape juice, the second with sulfuric acid, and the third with water. There are also $3$ empty vials in the cupboard, also of sizes $1$ oz, $2$ oz, and $3$ oz. In order to save the world with grape-flavored acid, James Bond must make three full bottles, one of each size, filled with a mixture of all three liquids so that each bottle has the same ratio of juice to acid to water.
