TIL – An Impossible Bottle. Ever wondered how do they make those impossible things?

in #til6 years ago

There are many thing that puzzle from the first glance. Ever had that feeling when you look at something and say to yourself “This is impossible?”


So we had a General Meeting here at work and one man brought some unusual bottle of vodka with a whole cucumber in it:

Cute, isn't it?

And since they haven't banned me in google just yet, I found this:

An impossible bottle is a type of mechanical puzzle. The term refers to any bottle containing an object that does not appear to fit through the bottle's mouth.

The ship in a bottle is a traditional type of impossible bottle. Other common objects include fruits, matchboxes, decks of cards, tennis balls, racketballs, Rubik's Cubes, padlocks, knots, and scissors. These may be placed inside the bottle using various mechanisms, including constructing an object inside the bottle from smaller parts, using a small object that expands or grows inside the bottle, or molding the glass around the object.

So, obviously they just put a small growing cucumber into the bottle until it's grown to a needed size.
But how about bigger objects that do not grow, like this ship:

Я так и предполагала). А вот с огурцом, видимо действительно он вырастает в бутылке...

Таки да ибо больше вариантов нет ))))
Спасибо за комментарий!

Ну почему же вариантов нет?)) я обдумывала вариант с яйцом, когда его в уксусе размягчают и как-то вкидывают в бутылку))).

Хммм... Яйцо в уксусе? xD

Да)) )сырое в скорлупе)

Woww, it's incredible! I have always wondered how they do impossible possible? Now that I know! Thanks for sharing it with us.

Yep, we just have to believe that impossible is possible and then possibly impossible becomes possible...
