Circumference vs. Height

Hi Sami.
With us in Bavaria, the Question is rather: Is the Glass of Beer half full or half empty ...? ;-))

Classic dilemma it is. In my opinion it depends on the taste of beer. If it is bad, the glass is always way too full. But if it is good, it is always way too empty.

That's how I suspected it too... ;-))

For pessimists, the glass is half empty. For optimists, the glass is half full. And for scientists, the glass is two times too big for that amount of beer. ;-))

;-))

What we need then is science to bring us a vessel that adapts to the amount of content!

You start with a pint, and end up drinking from a thimble! =D

Yes, and that leads then to the point, when you've finished the thimble to say: the less I drink, the more drunk I am! ;-))

Surely it must depend on the diameter of the glass. A tall thin straight glass will have a smaller circumference than the glass height; whereas a wide base straight glass will have a larger circumference than the glass height.

Yes of course... But if you have to estimate which is more based on the glass you see in the image.

As a mathematician my first step is to rephrase the question equivelantly so that it is easier to find the answer: Is the height more than 3.14 times bigger than the diameter?

Yes, not so difficult puzzle if you know exact measurements, and then very easy to just calculate. But if one can only estimate based on how it looks.

I see you chose wrong ;-)

I had read too late that you can see who has visited the pages. I then tried to cover up my track by visiting all pages. But probably You could see the order in time. :-)

Ha ha ha! =D

No, that can not be seen, only the date. But from the game point of view visit at the "wrong answer" page is counted as a wrong choice at the game.

But isn't this a clever use of private access links and visits? Something that I had never before thought, and it was fun to put it in use.

Of course it does not work if someone visit the pages anonymously (not logged in or not letting others know when online here at ipernity).

without the cards laying under it I would have guessed circumference had easily won, now I would call it a draw, so there no option to visit for me.................. ;-)

You want to choose a draw? Then here's a choice for you ;-)

C) A draw

for me that's clear 2 x 8 = 16 cm ... = B

and is it not right - I drink the beer !!!!

That is definitely the best solutions! =D

Oh, and the C = 2 π r ;-)

OK. Just looking at the photo, I'd say the circumference is greater than the height. Maybe if I drunk the contents I'd see the correct solution more easily.

I'm surprised to see people don't dare to click those links to choose ;-)

But, if you take that solution, and drink to see more easily, be prepared to double your guess =D

I've clicked on both links now. Drinking the contents has made me incautious. ;-)

I say you won! The best choice is to just drink it! =D

Good work ;-) *****

Thank you, June =)

a star for the fun :))

Cheers! =)

+1 !

Great idea, well done!

Thanks, Susanne.

Two candles are on the table, same height, same thickness. Which one is burning longer?

Neither. You have to ignite them first =D

Ignition has nothing to do with it. I see only candles burning shorter ;-)

Then it must take equal time =)

Now this one I got ... thanks Diederik!

Without looking, I'm going to guess it's the rim because the height seems way too obvious! :)

The picture, by the way, is GREAT! I would love to play a few games with you please! :)

P.S. Thank you for the game! I loved it! I got it right once, and wrong once! :D

Yes, noticed from the page visits ;-)

This idea could be used more, to create playful guessing games. There are private access links and page visit feature used.

I think that I have learned something new about private access links today. I have determined in my account settings that nobody shall be informed about my visits. So when I visit a photopage usually the photo owner can't see that I have visited the page. But if I understand you correctly it is different with private access links. When a logged in user follows a private access link the photo owner can always see which user has visited the photopage. Is that correct?

Yes, you seem to be right about it.

I tested it with FAQ account. When a user set the visibility as private, visits a public image, AND does not comment, then the visit is counted as "anonymous visit". If the user who has set the visibility as private, makes a comment, then her/his visit becomes identified.

BUT if that user then follows a link for private image, then the ipernity account visit on that private document indeed becomes identified, no matter if the user has commented or not! =O

It sort of makes sense, because in case of private documents the author should become informed who has visited, if it is possible. If someone who has not logged in gains access the private content (e.g. knows the unique URL for it), then of course it is counted only as anonymous visit.

La circonférence est plus grande : (2) × (3,14) × (rayon) > hauteur

Once correct! =)

J'espère que la bière était bonne !!!!
;o)

My favorite out of Finish beers, Sandels.

J'aime beaucoup ce type de photo qui met en scène une "devinette" , une réflexion ... collective
Comme mon album "Cadavre exquis" (synopsis) pour le groupe 50 images que je fais évoluer vers un travail d'écriture ...

I see 8 beer for 2 men. Good ratio.
;-)))

LOL! =D Yes 8 for all, and all for 8!

I’m sorry I missed this completely. I had a large prep work to do today of the gardening kind. Just read this and thought I definitely drink the pint. I’m too tired . Thanks anyway

Yes, looks like this was a puzzle too tough for most =D

So, have a drink an relax! Cheers! =)

Yes, thanks for the challenge, but the brain is too slow early on Monday morning :-) Eye catching image.

Thank you Gillian =)

Yes, better not to try anything too complex in Monday morning. I totally agree! =D

Great puzzle for those who don't get frustrated with these kinds of puzzles. lol I like the presentation but these drive me to frustration. Charlie on the other hand loves them. I'll have to ask him to answer.

Then maybe you find it more relaxing to watch others puzzling it =)

See here: youtu.be/FAyHrANNpkU

I think they're equal.

Then you get the same option as Luc:

C) A draw

A) Circumference of the glass rim is more. Well maybe ???????? ha ha

Looks like you guessed wrong after the second image ;-)

Proost !!!

Kippis! =)

...can I have the beer first? ;-))

Yes, of course! =)

Cheers!

That's great, nice one Sami

Cheers! =)

Cheers:D

A photo that is a puzzle. Well done.
