A man in a restaurant asked a waiter for a juice glass, a dinner plate, water, a match, and a lemon wedge. The man poured enough water onto the plate to cover it.
“If you can get the water on the plate into this glass without touching or moving this plate, I will give you $100,” the man said. “You can use the match and lemon to do this.”
A few minutes later, the waiter walked away with $100 in his pocket. How did the waiter get the water into the glass?

He placed the lemon wedge on the center of the plate, then stuck the match into the lemon so it was pointing straight up. Finally he lit the match and placed the glass over the lemon/lit match combo. The fire used up the oxygen in the glass creating a vacuum and thereby sucking the water inside the glass.
Exactly!
You’re today’s winner.
