But you can't get exactly half . . . I'm gonna be extremely nitpicky 'cause it serves my purposes
. Lets assume that we are using a 1L container and water is being used to half fill it. To completely fill it it would take roughly 33 428 000 000 000 000 000 000 000 molecules of water to fill. Now first off, there is no way to measure this number, or half of it. Second of all, it is reasonably to conclude that few of those didgits should be 0. Thirdly assuming that the previous statement is correct, there is a 50% chance that the last digit will be odd making division by 2 impossible -you can't have half a molecule of water.
Too much time on my hands
