Personally I never bother with ice cubes made from anything less than 10,000 year old water. Filtered through unidirectional speaker cables, obviously.

Err and the point is?

temperature of the vodka, I'd say that has to make a difference. Not sure whether it's significant.
age of teh ice cube: depends on how it was made, the proportion and distribution of air bubbles, how much it's sublimated (and from what surfaces) and wheter it's accumulated frost (and again, whether that's ll over, or just on the top surfaces)
Given the complexities, I'd say a great deal of research was necessary...

I once read a thesis which suggested that approx 11% of an iceberg can be seen from a boat, but roughly 89% can be seen when in a submarine.
I'm not sure what to believe.
TSY, please share the results of your experimentations (I mean the ones related to the iceberg).

Hmmm... does the submarine have a telescope?
I might move this experiment to the bath. I will use goggles and a snorkle to simulate a submarine.
I'll drink the vodka.

TSY, why on earth do you want to stimulate a submarine? Or is it that you were wearing beer goggles and necking down 1/9 of a bottle of vodka at the time (which explains almost any otherwise irrational act)?

It may seem inane but it's people like Andrew who move life as we know it on. It can't have been easy sailing off in that ship to prove the world wasn't flat...

you have to be careful with the "age of the ice cube" experiment. You may find that the water is taller than the icecube if it's older than it and the ice cube will feel all intimidated and sulk at the bottom of the glass.
