A homogenous mixture, of two or more substances. At least, that's what they taught me in chemistry.

Yeah, I know.....not much help.

But welcome to the forum.

Whiskey is a solution to most problems.

Whiskey is definitely a solution of water, alcohol and various fusel oils.

This puts me at an awkward loss of smilies.

Is it 'of' or 'for' ? Words would be "for" I think. Any grammatical rule for smilies?

Click on the "MEMBERS" button at the top of the page, and you will see a category for "Most Solutions". I don't have any idea what it is.
