next one: little bit tough...maybe just me

There is a barrel with no lid and some wine in it. "This barrel of wine is more than half full," said Curly. "No it's not," says Mo. "It's less than half full."

Without any measuring implements and without removing any wine from the barrel, how can they easily determine who is correct?

 

[thisisbad]

Did i read it wrong?

If the barrel has no lid can they just look inside and see whose right?

you read right, but there is a thing that they can do to see who is right about how much wine is in it

remember that they cannot see the bottom on the barrel

this one is not that good of a riddle

i'll give it a few minutes, then just post answer

 

[ajoytoy]

heres the answer to the last one:


Tilt the barrel until the wine barely touches the lip of the barrel.

If the bottom of the barrel is visible then it is less than half full.

If the barrel bottom is still completly coverd by the wine, then it is more than half full.
