What if the glass isn't exactly half full?

[Igo kyu]

I was unclear. There are two options available to you, you can say it is half full, you can say it is half empty, any other remarks will be ignored.

Who said anything about water? it might be a pint glass with scotch in it, might be a blood or urine sample.

The glass is never "empty" anyway it's always full! If it's full of liquid it's full, if full of air (empty of liquid) it's still full! It would only be "empty" if it was in a vacuum!

What glass?? Did everyone else get a glass?

It doesn't matter.

It's only a hypothetical glass.

My glass is half filed with ale. Do I include the head when I measure or just the amber dark goodness? I like a good frothy moustashe, but can you count it as part of the contents?

i like it half empty of coke and the other half half empty of rum

You can legitimately call that half empty, because over half of it is empty, but if you called it half full, you'd be exaggerating.

Equally, what if the glass is 2/3 full?

Then, if you called it half empty, you'd be telling porkies, but if you said it was half full you'd be telling a half truth at worst.

Order your Pints faster then you don't have to think about it!

What happens if your glass is also of a mouldable /flexible material so it can be stretched,compressed added to ,reduced.
