    Assuming that the glass has coins in it, does he tell you anything about the number or denominations of the coins?

    perhaps it could hold half a "pound"(the currency) of water. Just a guess. At any rate this thread really belongs on the gereral discussions board.

    There is no solution with the data given, ask some questions about the glass. What are the contents of the glass if any? What is the location of the glass? (even water differs in value depending on where you are). Is the glass an antique? It could be priceless.

    Just some food for thought.
