The professor is diabolical so this is obviously a trick question. The glass is completely full because after the blue sand the glass is filled the rest of the way with nothing sand.
Until you realize that if you poured water on it the water would seep through the sand until it hit the bottom of the glass. So technically the glass has something in it.
I wish Professor Clemmons always spoke in this manner. It’s so tingly! And it makes him feel like a distinct character and not just yourself in a coat and glasses.
Neither the glass is exactly 10% purple sand, 10% red sand, 10% green sand, 10% white sand, 10% yellow sand, 10% blue sand, 37% nothing sand, and 3% fruit slice. You can't trick me ER
well it would depend on the last action wouldt it? if you had previously poured the glass then it would be half full, if you had previously taken some of what was in the glass, its half empty
Half Full, You have filled an empty glass with Sand ergo; Half Full You have not emptied the sand out of the glass to a half capacity so it is not Half Empty.
Incorrect. In the video he explicitly states that the glass was full, to the rim, with experimental sand, and a patient ingested it. So it was technically emptied to half way from full, ergo, half empty.
*ER pulls out a gun* So, human, tell me whether the glass is half empty or half full. Answering any other questions than the one I just asked will result in a catastrophic result.
The answer is really simple! It depends on whether the contents of the glass was added or taken away. If the contents was added, its half full. If the contents was taken away, its half empty.

After a long extraordinary observation, five pages of notes, four times counting to a 100, three times listening to a Johnny Cash album, two times waiting for food at the Restaurant at the End of the World and one truely extravagant visit at Professor Corvus, I can now conclude with full confidence and knowledge that the glass is half empty.
well seeing as how the lines of sand are perfectly parallel and separated and not mixed or messed up, one can assume that the glass was empty and then filled with the layers of sand it is half full. if it had been full and then poured out halfway, it would be half empty.
That would be true, if not in the video he said that it used to be full before a lucky patient ingested it. Clearly it was empty then filled half full in real life, but that would be silly to go off of that when he made it clear that it used to be full in the video as part of the role play.
The amount of matter in the said receptacle is half way not full not empty it is just at the halfway mark (there may or may not be a mark there but for explanatory reasons I am using the term mark as a point where the cup/glass/drinking receptacle has reached half way empty or full) therefore it is halfway the amount is half not empty not full just halfway.
Presuming that no one has drank the sand from the glass, which I can assume based on the layers being mostly level, then the glass is half full as the last action taken with the glass was to fill it up.
The careful layers of different coloured experimental sand imply that it has been carefully half filled with the sand as opposed to filled to the top and emptied. It has been half filled. So I say it is half full.
Well technically there is also a lemon which would put it in a major for more stuff in the glass than air, so it’s half full because it’s like 52% full and 48% empty
I do enjoy the fact that everyone in the comments is trying to make a witty answer, when this is like... obviously a psychological question. Id wager its trying to see which of the patients are doing well vs which are doing poorly. The point isn’t the answer, not really, its just to see the reaction of the patient, their thought process, and mental state at the moment. But hey, funny ha ha comment
It's based on what the state of the glass was before the current state. If the glass of empty before the current state it is half full. If the glass was full before its current state it is half empty.
Well....the sand is still perfectly separated and layered so it was only fulled halfway and not emptied in anyway or the layers of sand would be disturbed so its half full
The only answer is this: If you filled the glass to the halfway point from empty, it is half full. If you emptied the glass to the halfway point from full, its half empty. If you disagree, leave.😤
That depends on the state of the glass prior to placing the sand inside it. If the glass was full of sand, and you poured out half the sand the it would be half empty because you emptied sand from the glass. If the glass was already empty however then it is half full because you filled it half way with sand.
The professor is diabolical so this is obviously a trick question. The glass is completely full because after the blue sand the glass is filled the rest of the way with nothing sand.

Until you realize that if you poured water on it the water would seep through the sand until it hit the bottom of the glass. So technically the glass has something in it.
I have spent a concerning amount of time trying to figure out some secret message. I've concluded that I've both wasted my time, and spent it well.
Schroedingers conclusion!
The lemon wedge signifies completion, which logically concludes that the glass was once full and now half empty.
But what if it was complete upon filling one half of it, and therefore is half full
Not true that is only a guess.
You don’t have enough evidence to prove that that lemon stands for completion in this “world”
the layers of sand being undisturbed also imply that the glass has never been drunk from, thus it is in the process of being filled.
nope try again
Correct Answer: neither, it is not half full or half empty, it just is.
There is no glass. The glass is a lie xD
Well it depends, did you put in the cup, then its half full, but if you took out then its half empty
