Unstated assumptions.

If a kitchen faucet is flowing at a rate of 1 gallon/minute, how long does it take to fill a 6oz. glass?  Well not 2.8 seconds if the water does not stay in the glass.  With the right shape of glass and the right input parameters the answer is never.

  1. Nicely done. This would make a great interview question.

    I enjoy these types of photos; there is something about capturing a split second in time. Everything changes; the hidden beauty is often revealed.
