Where?

Hallo everybody,

This is the first “Riddle me this…” post. The idea of these posts is to place a question/challenge/riddle/puzzle at least once or twice a month, where anyone can discuss the riddle, propose a solution to it or just ponder about it. The riddles can be from any field of study or from everyday common sense. So, without more explanation, the first riddle:

“What is the fastest way to empty a bottle? does the geometry of the bottle matter, (i.e. does a long neck, round short body, short neck, long narrow body, etc. matter)? does the density of the liquid affect the rate of emptying?”

(the main idea was taken from C. Schiller’s book “Motion Mountain”, and a few tweaks of my own were added.)
So there you have it, the first riddle.

Probably by the end of the month I’ll try and post the answer. If I don’t manage to find an answer, and there was no plausible proposed answer, then the riddle will be placed in the “Unsolved Riddles” for future solutions from any curious mind.

Enjoy.

Cheers, NM
