a glass of water, the object pushes some of the water out of the space it occupies.
Imagine two identical glasses filled to the same level.
One contains a small object, while the other contains a much larger object.
The larger object takes up more room inside the glass. As a result, the amount of water remaining in that glass is smaller.
That’s why simply looking at the waterline can be misleading.
The Trick Behind the Puzzle
To solve the puzzle correctly, you need to pay attention to several details:
- The size of each glass
- The amount of water originally present
- The size of the object inside
- How much of the object is submerged
- Whether the glasses themselves are identical
The visual appearance can make one answer seem obvious, but the actual answer depends on the volume of water—not simply the height of the waterline.
