A Husband & Wife are have an argument regarding the amount of water in an open drum without lid.

The Husband says  ‘This drum of water is more than half full’ .

But the wife says ‘No, It’s less than half full.’

Without using any measuring tools and without removing any water from the drum how can they easily determine who is correct?

    It is very simple:
    • Put a line in a drum to the level of water
    • Close the drum by glasses
    • Upside dawn the drum
    • See the level of water
    • If the level of water less than the line in the drum then the water less than half
    • If the level of water above the line in the drum then the water more than half

    BOTH ARE RIGHT

    This is the Question :

    Without using any measuring tools and without removing any water from the drum how can they easily determine who is correct?

    This is the Answer :

    Let them call someone else. Let them measure, then these guys can understand who is right and who is not. (Question doesnt insist to do everything by themselves, so it is possible to have the help of a third person).

    Thanks for suffering!!

    boths are wrong,

  9. Rawand March 22, 2012 at 2:16 PM #

    that’s really strange question, to know the level of the water, they can simply look at the water inside the drum from the place where the lids are supposed to be and then they can predict which one of is on the right speech.

    well, a drum without a lid that means it’s opened from the two sides and can’t keep water? =P maybe the husband was just teasing the wife and it worked XD or maybe it was a resumed problem about a lack of salt in the meal or something hehehehe wish all having a great time with their wives =P

  11. Najeeb March 22, 2012 at 1:23 PM #

    Here’s the thing – no matter what they do or by which means they figure it out, they won’t agree with each other even one of them being right. Typical husband and wife.

  12. Ethel Shunje March 22, 2012 at 12:46 PM #

    both husband and wife are frogs, and they are in the water so its easy to determine.

      Hilarious !

  13. NizamHm March 22, 2012 at 9:24 AM #

    Check whether water is in the drum. Until its measured both arewrong

    I don’t know maybe its contaminated I think its an ambiguous\’/

  16. Mubarek AL-Amin March 22, 2012 at 7:49 AM #

    They both have to see my Sensei and ask?
    you have to be the Water so you can tell.

  17. Sami El-Bayoumi March 22, 2012 at 7:12 AM #

    it depends on, how you look at the drum, from the bottom to the level of the water or from the upper edge of the drum down to the level of water. In other words: are they commenting on the filled part of the drum or on the empty part of the drum.

  18. Al Faham March 22, 2012 at 2:35 AM #

    In tilting the drum diagonally a little, if the water near the top and they can’t see the opposit point in the bottom it means more than the half.
    If they can see part of the bottom of the drum it means less than the half.

    • Amer Raza Khan March 24, 2012 at 8:04 PM #

      Al Faham is right.

      • Al Faham March 25, 2012 at 2:41 AM #

        Thanks Amer.

    • Sara - Admin March 26, 2012 at 10:21 AM #

      You got the right Answer Al Faham. Congrats!!

    Family Solution: Husband must agree to wife’s point of view.

    Technical Solution: Take a stick (preferably wooden) equal to or longer that the depth of the drum. Submerge it in the water till it touches the bottom of the drum. Take the stick out and touch the bottom end of stick to the water surface, if the submerged portion of the stick is higher than the drum top edge, water is more than half full drum and if it remains below to edge of the drum, water is less than half full drum.

      Good one Ashraf!!

  20. Al March 22, 2012 at 12:58 AM #

    J agree with Ghassan Hamdan . he gave the only realistic answer , as for me I would win by losing thus sparing myself a big fruitless argument ,,,,,,

  21. Mohd Assaf March 21, 2012 at 11:55 PM #

    The drum has clear color

  22. Sreekanth March 21, 2012 at 10:13 PM #

    Husband says half filled drum makes more noise like you!!! Hence the drum referred to by wife is half filled

    Wife says gentlemen’s brain cannot even reach the half way mark in understanding the ladies…….hence the water level in the drum referred to by husband is less than half filled

    So in their own logic both are right!!!!

  23. Saeed Ahmed March 21, 2012 at 9:06 PM #

    Just Patting outside the wall of the drum near the center line. Listening the sound of the drum wall, They can determine whether it is half full or less than half.

    And the Other is a Husband.

  25. Sami March 21, 2012 at 7:57 PM #

    It’s an open drum guys !! How could water remain in it? why they mentioned (an open drum without lid? Means it leaks out …. LoL !!

  26. afaadhel March 21, 2012 at 7:02 PM #

    They must attend the same size drum and puts the water in half of drum. and add the water if it filled with water and remained the husband is right >but if it exact full both of them are wrong >and if it did not remain completely filled with
    the wife is right >>

  27. Muneera March 21, 2012 at 6:07 PM #

    They need to look in side the drum

  28. OSmanda March 21, 2012 at 4:55 PM #

    Since it is not covered, they can easily check and tell who is right……

  29. Mohamed March 21, 2012 at 4:34 PM #

    The women is correct, simply becasue there is no way for any man to win against his wife…

    • Maxi March 21, 2012 at 6:22 PM #

      you are right … lol

  30. Sajid March 21, 2012 at 4:14 PM #

    Both are right…… if you measure from bottom its more than half full and if you measure from top, its less than half full.

  31. Raki March 21, 2012 at 4:08 PM #

    Is it important that one is right and one is wrong?
    What about using the water as if there is less than half a drum and then it is a blessing if there is more….and next time they will have a better idea and in the time being, an even greater blessing of harmony in the home.

    Why you remove Discuss Comment Module ?,
    Is there any Bug in that ?

  34. samer March 21, 2012 at 3:16 PM #

    Women Know much more the Spent volume, if she says she spent more then she is right

  35. Immu March 21, 2012 at 3:02 PM #

    It is very simple just make it sure when they start argument if they start before breakfast then wife is correct 🙂

  36. Scorpion March 21, 2012 at 3:00 PM #

    for me, I will agree with my women, then she will change her answer to be the same of mine

  37. Ghassan Hamdan March 21, 2012 at 2:26 PM #

    It is simple, all they have to do is to agree and mark half of the drum from outside just by looking. and then make a hole in that level, if water flows it is more than half and if it does not then it is less than half.

    hope that is OK.
    Thanx

    womans are tubelights ,they glitter more

  39. zaid March 21, 2012 at 1:59 PM #

    put a long stright wood stick in the drum till it reaches the bottom,
    then pull it out and mesure the wet part from the dry part that reaches to the top of the drum. as simple as that.

  40. SAQTAM March 21, 2012 at 1:56 PM #

    Both right, Husband’s are realistic so they know the actual picture. Wife’s are concerned about the future so they determine everything is short or less so that they will not create problem in future. Kodos & Congrats to both.. SAQTAM

  41. zuhair March 21, 2012 at 1:47 PM #

    i agree with the comment all they have to do is to look at the un covered drum to see who is correct??

  42. ASALI March 21, 2012 at 1:17 PM #

    THEY HAVE TO LOOK INTO THE DRUM SINCE IT IS OPEN AND THERE IS NO LID

  43. Ali March 21, 2012 at 1:07 PM #

    it depends on ,Half full of what “air or water” ??????

  44. Ali March 21, 2012 at 1:04 PM #

    I think they have to knock the drum from outside to find out the amount of water is above or below half ,noting that the sound of empty part is different from the sound of the full part.

  45. Shabir March 21, 2012 at 12:53 PM #

    Both are right

  46. M-Jameel March 21, 2012 at 12:45 PM #

    I think they have to incline the drum until the water reaches the top edge. if the bottom appear, this means the level is bellow half or vice versa.

  47. titus March 21, 2012 at 12:41 PM #

    Good morning

    Both of them are not right because they dont have understanding power and do not forgive each other

  48. Khaled Mamdouh March 21, 2012 at 12:38 PM #

    Put similar amount of water from another drum & add it to the first drum to see if it will pour or not

  49. Sibght March 21, 2012 at 12:19 PM #

    I think husband is correct because husband can good measurable

  50. ZZZ March 21, 2012 at 12:06 PM #

    Fill it with another half drum and see what happened.
