GLASS HALF FULL
You are in an empty room and you have a transparent glass of water. The glass is a right cylinder, and it looks like it's half full, but you're not sure. How can you accurately figure out whether the glass is half full, more than half full, or less than half full? You have no rulers or writing utensils.

Taking a wild guess--- shine a light at a certain angle, to see the water's reflection/shadows bouncing? Then you can determine where it is? >_> xD

I made this on art, it's easier for me to explain this riddle with pictures then in words. I hope it's right.

you can be almost sure that the glass is less than half full because the glass will look fuller due to cohesion, so the glass would most likely be less than half... or if you want, you could drink the water and it would be less than half...
