    Default I never was any good at maths

    Steve Wright in the afternoon R2.

    THERE ARE MORE ATOMS IN A GLASS OF WATER-----

    THAN THERE ARE GLASSES OF WATER IN THE ENTIRE WORLDS OCEANS!!!!!!!

    First of all, how did he know that he didn't count some atoms twice in the glass of water?

    Secondly, Where did he put them when he had counted them?

    Thirdly, just how big was this glass, perhaps it was ginormous.

    Fourthly, how long did it take to count all of them?

    Ideas, anyone??!!

    Colin ( p.s. bet he cheated)

    if you put pure distilled water into a sterilized glass container, seal it and leave for a coupe of months it will have live bacteria floating in it.

    If you fill a pint glass with sawdust, you can pour 1 1/2 pints of beer into it with space spare.

    Same as it does without the sawdust most of it goes on the floor but you can pour it in

    I have done work on filling water for sale , you have to make sure that the air is sterile around the neck so airborne bacteria do not get sucked in , You do this using a sealed filling head , some of these can be aseptic but most are not , they do not suck in air as a tap or hose would . You are looking at some nasty bugs too although in small quantities
