To evaluate, I will pour each discovered liquid with the mystery one. If they don't mix, they don't have
the same density. If they do mix, they have the same density.

Liquid density
Since the mystery liquid is between the water and the paraffin oil, its density must be from 0.88 to
0.998 g/cm^3.

My conclusion, compared to the scientists, is very similar. We both conclude that the mystery liquid's
density is between 0.880 g/cm^3 and 0.998 g/cm^3.
