The problem is impossible to solve
as stated. With a 40% mixture and a
42% mixture, there is no way you can
end up with a smaller percentage of
alcohol than 40% or a larger percentage
of alcohol than 42%
Are you sure the data is correct?

This was posted previously and I said it's not possible.
No matter how many times you post it, there's no solution (no pun).
