Hey, I agree that the puzzle was phrased wrong. When I thought of a
glass, I thought of a typical glass (you know, kind of rounded inside bottom,
wider at top), and not a cylinder. (Of course, to state that glass was a
cylinder would have clued everyone in right off.)
I DID supply an answer that let them get "as close as desired", which I
consider good enough for the real world. Course, they wouldn't wanna use my
solution if one of them had thrush or something...
