Flipping a cone over 2011-01-17
From Fionna:
The height of your cone is "x". Holding the cone so that the vertex is at the bottom, fill it half full with water. The depth of the water is "1/2x". Put a lid over the top, and flip it over. What is the new depth of the water, now that the cone is flipped?
