Puzzle connoisseur: Plug all but one hole on the rim and suck through the remaining hole Engineer: Just use a straw Statistician: Turn the cup upside down and manage to drink some of the water in one gulp

Savage: use your tongue like a dog, or dip your fingers and suck them until all water is gone.

@@phoebecara4361 engineer uses a straightforward clunky but working solution to a problem that appears to be complex and elegant; roughly 90% of the time statisticians draw approximate conclusions from incomplete data and really make a mess of things. For example, in a famous case from world war 2, Abraham Wald, an Austrian Jewish refugee with an intense passion for mathematics, was a member of the US Statistical Research Group. The group received data from the battlefield and processed it to turn into practical wartime solutions. When presented with data concerning where aircraft had been hit the most after returning from dogfights (primarily the wings and tail), it was suggested that the military ought to use planes reinforced in those spots. Wald was the one who pointed out that the spots where aircraft were hit the most _before returning to base_ were actually the _least_ important to reinforce; Those that had been hit in the fusellage for example tended not to return, because they were shot down, and the parts without bullet holes were the most important to reinforce. The alternative, that the enemy was for some reason just hitting the wigs more often, was actually absurd. This would at first appear to be an anecdote that refutes my position on statisticians, but remember- Wald's colleagues, top-class statisticians employed by the US military, were all prepared to send off for US military aircraft to move reinforcement from the cockpit to the wingtips. A single man had the insight to put the brakes on that. Wald's report was, in a sense, itself a case of the same kind of bias.

Oskar Van Deventer is the first puzzle designer I ever knew by name. His commercial puzzle designs held me in awe of his mechanical prowess and cleverness and encyclopedic knowledge, but his youtube channel and lifelong love and endless dedication to puzzles and engineering oddities just for the sake of their beauty and curiosity gave me a deeper appreciation of the man. We're lucky to live in his era and generations to come will remember him as a great puzzle designer.

🤣 Fun puzzle, only need to add a disclaimer "avoid hot liquid".

That's a good idea. Thank you.

Don't consume food or drink or of 3D printed plastic unless the plastic and the printer are both NSF rated. Which they definitely are not.

While this is an ingenious puzzle drinking cup, please tell me where I can send it for cleaning? I dread to think how long it would take for it to block up or one day blow in the hole and black bits show up in the cup but hey, incorporate that as a magic trick too and you'll be right lmao

I totally would've just used a straw. It's not an especially fast or elegant solution, but it's a simple one that works.

One of the rules of puzzle solving is not to use tools that were not provided with the puzzle. A straw will be considered as a tool and you can't use it.

@@Puzzleguy Well, not strictly speaking. There are puzzle boxes that require the use of a (not included) magnet to open them, for example. (but in this case I would say it's just a clever workaround rather than a true solution)

Oskar's Mug Puzzle. Fill it with beer, and that becomes "Oskar's Pug Muzzle" or "Oskar's Pum Guzzle" surprisingly quickly.

Seems like a nightmare

Evil solution: collect water on fingers and suck them until all the water is gone. Bad solution: lap water like a dog. Neutral solution: use a straw. True solution: get a bigger mouth. Good solution: do what he said. Easy solution: stop trying to drink from Oscar’s mug, that is gross, especially because the water touches his fingers.

You let it spill.... into your mouth!

Cool!

Solution: Drink out of the holes on the side inside of how people would normally drink from it.

I hope youre using food safe pla for this print

Just plug in the Holes with your fingers. That sounds so wrong now that I said it.

The cheese method: Use a straw

step 1 : use a straw

If I use a straw, does that count as solved?

Yes, you can get the .stl from Oscar's page. But there are also people who don't have 3d printers.
