Sir i learn lot of things from your video but sorry to say why its calling greedy cup, it should be antigreedy cup, correct me if I'm wrong
For the practical application, go flush your toilet…
Filling cup with little mercury and adding little more wine would result in same amount of wine in the cup and an extra little mercury
This is like an old school Chambong
Just block that damn Hole .
i bet you 10,000k this was played in some school somewhere
mercury/water challenge

There's a YouTube in there?!
I have two of these.
Why do you sound like Salad Fingers
However if they were really really smart, they’d fill the glass from the bottom using a tube, so the glass never empties.
4:10 "A small price to pay for salvation".
If I were one of the students, I'd put one of my finger in the hole at the bottom and just fill the glass as much as I'd want.
Wonderful, physics…
I thought the mercury would stay put all the way to the top dam I was wrong. On my first use of the cup and told not to be greedy I’d fill it to about 25mm from the top but upon seeing that gold blob in the middle my ocd says drown that lump and I’d go without as it’s now on my shoes.
Drink moderately, people
My man be looking like Electro Wizard from Clash Royale
perhaps they could have put a bit of honey or molasses in the bottom instead of mercury, they could have their wine and drink it too without poisoning themselves.
Wouldn't the amount of mercury in the displace more or the same volume as the extra wine would occupy at the top? Not really getting more wine, just a higher fill?
I love the smile he has starting on his lips, when he's already thinking about the words he's going to say next, about the students drinking mercury and poisoning themselves.
Next up should be:
"Cody's lab" Toilet filled with mercury. Does it flush?
Just take a sip from the bottom
Skip. His fingernails are more distracting than his hair. P.S. Why wouldn't mercury siphon the EXACT same was as water? Or wine?
Oil and water, easier experiment, no?
YOU-tube
This is the funniest man on youtube
Pythagoras. The biggest troll teacher of all time
If you put mercury in the bottom you’d still get a similar amount of wine because the mercury would take up the space that the wine could have occupied.
Wow mercury is so dense! It's like a liquid metal or something…
Why not block the hole with your finger? That way you can be greedy without being poisoned.
what you talking about, there are no downsides on the last past
I get to drink my wine
and die
Mmmmmmm… mercury
A small price to pay for more wine.
