Doesn't really work in written form…

But 10.

I have a glass (simple glass, perfect right cylinder).

I 'looks' half full.

How can I confirm it really is half full?   (I have nothing other than the glass, the water in it, and me.)

I know this is old but I do not usually read this thread and came across it.  Did anyone ever answer this one?  Because I do not see it.

If I can also use a piece of cardboard and a felt tipped marker I can do it, since it is a perfect right cylinder, but I cannot figure out how to do it with just the glass, the water, and me,

But then again, what the hell do I know?

you know what?  I forgot the answer.....

I see what you are doing with the marker and card though - that would work

Couldn't you tip the thing at an angle to where the water just reached the edge, and if it basically went "corner to corner" it would be "half full"?

I like these riddles almost as much for the unconventional answers as for the expected ones.

In this case, I was thinking more along the lines of putting one hand on top of the glass to seal it, mark the water level with the thumb of your other hand, then turn the glass and your hand upside down. If the water level goes to your thumb again, it is truly half full.

Well I gave it awhile, and know the answer. It starts with a "u" and makes use of the fact that she alone contains two.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Chris Brooks · Posted

      Day 77 - 2026-03-09 Hour of short game work at a mostly-new-to-me practice green. Trying to get some variability. Also some slow swings at the net later in the day focusing on backswing.

      Now you may not agree with these but once you get the speed dialed, super fast, true rolling greens yield a lot more holed putts from 10-15 feet range = birdies. Also, the rough wasn't terribly penal. On a separate note, it seemed Berger tried to cash in on his lead. Didn't play bad or anything but you could tell dude had already blown his load the first two days. And then Akshay stepped up. I mean the dart for the eagle was ridiculous.  Fun watch in a long time.

      Day 1 (9 Mar 26) - starting up again with a week layoff due to travels.  Played with the men’s group for the Monday shootout.  Was good to play, had some rust especially the long game, especially getting proper weight shift.

      Day 204 3-9 Wrist arch through downswing and getting wider with backswing. Need to continue working on getting trail arm "reconnected" as it still seems a bit off with wider backswing.

      Saw these today, this is a scam.  Joined in 2026.  Click his name and then his profile.  2 posts, no friends, one item for sale.  These clubs are probably takes from Temu. Facebook
