A glass of water with a single ice cube sits on a table. When the ice has completely melted, will the level of the water have increased, decreased or remain unchanged? Tell the RiddleDude why.

it will remain un changed, because it will melt, making more water, but some water will evaporate, making it unchanged.
Close enough, Dude2.
Remain unchanged is correct. Because when frozen, the ice cube displaces its weight. Evaporation has nothing to do with it.
You’re today’s winner.
increased because it melted
Do you mind if I add this twist Dude? Or even better if you do :)
What if the glass contained extremely salty water?
Of course you may.
Anybody?
