Challenge 309: Half fill the glass
I was sitting in the garden last weekend in a deckchair, a half-full glass of Coke resting on the arm, when I was struck by how attractive it looked with the sunlight coming through it. The bubbles in the Coke, the remains of the ice and the slice of lemon all caught the light beautifully. I took a photograph of it, of course, and also photographed it when it was virtually empty. And that's the version I'm giving you. Can you half fill it back up again? (Historians may be interested in the glass itself, a half-pint pub glass that's one of a set I picked up at a car boot sale the weekend before. Note the 'GR' mark etched on the side, which dates it back to George VI, and so the early 1950s at the very latest.) High res is here.  |

Now lets just hope for some sun, at least with the our temperatures, I won't have to worry about the ice melting. _________________ Perfect confidence is granted to the less talented as a consolation prize. |

Sorry Steve. I've drunk the last drop of Coke. I'm just going down to the shops to get some more!

Rapid work guys! They look interesting to me. I really don't like Coke, so maybe some Guinness required  , but a bit early yet, so maybe water, con gas or non gas.

Hi Anna, Do you know where I can get some Stemetil? I've been going round and round in circles trying to find some!
As soon as I saw this week's challenge I knew exactly what you would be doing with it and I wasn't disappointed. Very nice. Gordon _________________ Why is there only one body to investigate Monopolies ? |

A very clever challenge, Steve. The perspective ambiguity takes a keen eye to decipher correctly. _________________ Lonnie |
