Step 0.

Jug1: volume V of alcohol, concentration 1

Jug2: volume V of  water, concentration 1

Step 1. Pour Q of Jug2 into Jug1.

Jug1: volume V of alcohol, concentration V/(V+Q)

          volume Q of water, concentration Q/(V+Q)

Jug2: volume V - Q of water, concentration 1

Step 2. Pour Q of Jug1 into Jug2.

Jug1: volume of alcohol = V * V/(V+Q), concentration V/(V+Q)

          volume of water = V * Q/(V+Q) , concentration Q/(V+Q)

Jug2: volume of alcohol = Q * V/(V+Q), concentration Q/(V+Q)

           volume of water = (V-Q) + Q * Q/(V+Q) = V * V/(V+Q), concentration V/(V+Q)
