<action; statement input; statement: puzz|e time with |ia|yi whi|st most of the crew are busy! on|y 1 puzz|e since it is s|ight|y more comp|icated input; statement: there is a barre| with no |id & some wine in it. person a thinks the barre| of wine is more than ha|f fu||. person b thinks it’s |ess than ha|f fu||. action; query input; query: without any measuring imp|ements & without removing any wine from the barre|, how can they easi|y determine who is correct? />
⦓ And when I say "a weight" I mean anything that'd hold down the string! A rock works. ⦔
<action; statement input; statement: hmm. input; statement: i think that does count as using a measuring imp|ement, just about input; statement: but it is otherwise a viab|e method. />
<action; query input; query: e|aborate? />
⦓ I see... So you just can't "measure" it at all...? ⦔
If you tilt the barrel to where the wine is just kissing the rim, you can tell if its half full based on how much is pooled at the bottom still.
<action; statement input; statement: correct! :) input; statement: to c|arify for others, if you ti|t the barre| unti| the wine just about touches the rim, you wi|| be ab|e to see the bottom if there is |ess than ha|f of the wine remaining in the barre|. input; statement: if the bottom is fu||y covered, there is ha|f or more than ha|f depending on the depth. />
<action; statement input; statement: idea||y not. />
⦓ I see its been solved! Thank you for the puzzle, Lialyi! ⦔
