Riddle me this, riddle me that, I have two glasses not full and not empty what would you want to call that?

Not much of a party. Where’s the bottle?

Nothing to drink? You have claimed the glass to my right, and where I come from (the US), the glass on my left belongs to someone else.

Two glasses, each of which are at 50% capacity.

Two glasses not the right size for the amount of water. (I don’t see them as half full or half empty).

Alternate answer:

Eight ounces of water divided among two containers.

@YoBob hit the nail in the head.

With his first answer.

@YoBob Close…..but no cigar.

@zenvelo (I don’t see them as half full or half empty). Really? Think about that now.

Ok, if you really want to get picky. I have one glass to my left at 50% capacity and you have one glass sitting to my right at 50% capacity.

BTW, thanks for sharing the water.

@YoBob That tells me what they are but what is their dispensation. :-)

It depends on what size the glass at my left is. You never stated that they were the same size. By what you said, there is one glass that is half full on my right. Then there is one glass with half of what your glass had in it ..to my left.

I use the term half full because, scientifically, you can’t have half empty. Half of zero is zero.

I took it people would assume both glasses were the same size as in holding content; and they are. The term “half full” would be half right. ;-)

Then there would be two glasses that are half full. Two halves of a whole.

Oooooo…...you were right there….....:-)

I will give a hint that might make it quite solvable, you have one glass that is half empty.

Sharing?

@Symbeline Since you can win money off it at the bar and @Plucky was almost there. I will let you in on the secret. You have one glass half empty and you have another glass half full, you cannot have two glasses half full.

Both glasses are the same at that point…(after you gave me your half) Two halves?

@Symbeline The glass you had started out as what; empty right? Then I took my glass that was full to the top, and poured 50% of its contents into your empty glass, bring it up to 50% full. That leave my glass 50% empty of what it had. If I kept going, you would have a glass 75% full and mine would be 75% emptier. As you can see, the more I would poured, the fuller your empty glass becomes and emptier my full glass becomes. I cannot have a half full glass after giving you 50% because my glass was full when I started. You start with a full glass and an empty glass and end with one glass half full with another half empty. now go, win some money at the local tavern, you have to split it with me though ;-P
