I regret making any rules at all

Practice a lot.

Slight modifications of known substances only decreases the probability of things going wrong. Things can still go wrong. Take thalidomide for instance. The (R)-(+)-enantiomer produces sedation while the (S)-(−)-enantiomer produces severe birth defects.

Does your therapist know this?

It's still pretty crazy to test unknown chemicals on yourself, no matter how you go about it. Not all harmful effects are immediately experienced. For example, how do you know that something is neurotoxic before it's too late?

The biggest Norwegian athlete in recent times, Petter Northug, got caught speeding with cocaine in his system soon after retiring. It's not very surprising. It's hard to top being best in the world.

I already gave the answer earlier . I would say Tim R came pretty close.

That goes for solving anything, but I tried to minimize that factor (which is never successful). Yes.... but you see, now I just have to make another rule The rules are kinda corrupted anyway because I didn't anticipate people to start talking about space. I cba adjusting the rules to fit with relativistic mechanics (1. I'm not qualified, and 2. nobody will understand ).

It's technically breaking rule #3 because you're manipulating air molecules, but kudos for being subtle about it

I'll add that I stopped doing drugs 3 years ago

Awake? Maybe. Persistent non-symbolic awareness? Nah. That stuff is mindblowing.

????????

We're talking about the geographical area commonly referred to as "inside". You're talking about the surface of the material itself.

The water is inside the cup. Turn it upside down and start the experiment.

What?

@Tim R Hehe yup. It's probably impossible to make a fool proof riddle like this. It's way too complex Yes. I never specified that the size of the humans had to be constant ?

Ok. Make the cup infinitely large. The water will need an infinite amount of time to exit the glass. Tada! ? Silly isn't it? ? I'm probably not consistent with my own rules anymore, but hey, it was fun

... lol I didn't mean to say that you're allowed two cups. That was to illustrate the point that a glass shaped like this \=/ will retain its shape no matter how large it is.

No. Size is not shape. You can have two different sized objects with the same shape.

Ok go to space then ? Let's stick to earth though (or a place with an uniform gravitional field where a person is standing on the ground and holding the glass in his hand).

Let me just tease you a little bit first. You need to think very big. Go big or go home

I think the amount of rules and caveats I've had to make will just make the answer I thought about seem rather silly ?

The force from the gravitional field Sure, if the glass wasn't stationary (held in the same place to stop it from falling), the glass would fall together with the water. Two different sized objects can have the same shape. But ok, let's break the law of conservation of mass. You can magically make an object more massive. Maybe that's a solution, but I was thinking something a bit more radical

Ok here is a hint: just because we start with a normal size cup doesn't mean we can't change the size after turning it upside down. However, the volume of the liquid still remains constant. In other words, you can change the size of the cup after it's been turned upside down.
