Provided Newt's hand were steady enough, the amount of brandy in the whisky should be equal to the amount of whisky in the brandy.
Suppose they both contain only two spoonfuls. After the first transfer, the whisky glass contains 2 parts whisky to 1 part brandy. So two-thirds of a spoonful of whisky is transferred back to the brandy glass, along with one-third of a spoonful of brandy, leaving two-thirds of a spoonful of brandy in the whisky glass. The principle works for any quantity.
