It’s probably more precise than the “pouring technique” given you could not spill a drop and you would have to empty the containers completely every time.Īll in all, I don’t know of any way with dead-on precision except through measurement on a scale and knowing the density of water at a given temperature and pressure See: I guess the implications of bombs blowing up really helps to solidify the seriousness of precision versus accuracy.Ģ) As John Cossack pointed out, the “inversion technique” fails to account for the wall thickness (a dimension not given in the problem statement though unlikely to be zero).ģ) The “rain technique” fails to account for the random distribution of rain drops, though the statistical significance of this phenomenon remain dubious. I solved it one of the correct ways then (method 1 of “the answer”) without the inherent imprecision of Steven Roth’s method. I love the creativity of these solutions, however:ġ) The “halfway technique”: Funny, I first heard this problem on Die Hard 3, and then later in remedial algebra my freshman year of high school.
