Science based brain teaser, Brain teaser #4

Science based brain teasers – what do I need to know?

Science based brain teasers are just that. They are based on science. As a result, a good understanding of physical and biological world and the associated laws are going to be very useful. If you have a good understanding by observing a lot of things, then that is useful too.

Brain teasers based on science are therefore not that hard to solve if you have a good grounding in science.

Here is this week’s free brain teaser:

Free brain teaser #3

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?

Hint

The glass will be upside down when the water is in it.
