If one puts a milkshake in one empty yard and crack open a cold one in another, equally empty yard, which yard do the boys go to?
Scientifically, the milkshake and the cold one have counteracting forces upon the boys. It is a battle between which one can draw them to their yard. Thus, to discover which yard the boys go to, we must first uncover WHY the beverages have such a strong pull on the boys.
First, the milkshake, which brings all the boys to the yard. This means that the boys are somewhere else when the milkshake is placed in the yard and are pulled to the yard with the milkshake.
Second, the cold one, which is cracked open with the boys. As you may see, it must be WITH the boys, thus meaning the boys must be in that yard when the cold one is cracked open for it to have an effect. However, as the question states, both yard were empty prior to the beverages being place within them.
Thus, the boys would go to the yard with the milkshake first, for the cold one does not have sway on the boys’ path.
