Thanks for the very beautiful 3D stah. I hereby encourage anybody still wondering how you can get 4 pints of seltzer water into the 5 pint glass to click the link I posted in a comment on the post that featured this interesting problem.

I am fiddling around w/ the comment moderation settings for this blog to see if we can avoid spammers like the one we just got. If the members of this blog get moderated, blame me till I figure out how to do this.
