Heart of Glass

So you have a perfectly cylindrical glass of water as shown:


How would you measure exactly 1/2 of this glass of water without using ANY tools whatsoever? The only thing you have is this glass...

and maybe more water if you fail...

at life.....

    tilt it until the water level hits the corner of the glass (where the base and the cylinder meet.

  3. remember where the water line is at. then swallow the water and hold it in your mouth. Fill the cylinder with new water up again to where it was before u removed it. Then unload the water in your mouth back into teh cylinder, if it is half full it should fill the cylinder up completely. This only works if the volume of half the cylinder is =< your mouth volume capacity.
