@Carl-Richard Let's go, resolve. Otherwise this will end up in a cul-de-sac of bickering back and forth about the rules

Ok. Make the cup infinitely large. The water will need an infinite amount of time to exit the glass. Tada! ? Silly isn't it? ? I'm probably not consistent with my own rules anymore, but hey, it was fun :D

@Carl-Richard Bruh? my idea with making a very large cup and surface tension would be more realistic and consistent with your rules... would've never come up with your solution?

@Tim R Hehe yup. It's probably impossible to make a fool proof riddle like this. It's way too complex :P

So i will be holding an infinite sized cup with my hand? How wonderful. :D

Yes. I never specified that the size of the humans had to be constant ?

@Carl-Richard Strange. Which side of the cup is 'in', and which is 'out'?

@Carl-Richard I'm supposed to make the water stay inside of the cup. Which side is 'in'?

The water is inside the cup. Turn it upside down and start the experiment.

@Carl-Richard I thought that glass is inside of the cup. Water is outside of it. Isn't it why you can spill it by turning the cup upside down?

 

I am playing with you.

We're talking about the geographical area commonly referred to as "inside". You're talking about the surface of the material itself.

@Carl-Richard Can you start upside down and use an artificial force to keep the water in the cup? If the rules don't apply until after you flip the cup, then you start upside down with an artificial force keeping the water in the cup, and then because you are upside down when you flip the cup it will flip in the right direction, and the water will never leave the interior of the cup.

@Carl-Richard So basically, the problem is a matter of perspective? Interesting.

Maybe solving it has something to do with how you view it? am playing with you.

In Australia everything is upside down, so... you gotta travel there with the cup. And since, according to your rule, the force of gravity points down:

the problem is solved! The water is not gonna exit the cup. Only issue is, the guy is also going to fall into space, along with the cup o.O but nevermind that :D

????????

How would you prevent the liquid water from exiting the cup?

By doing nothing. I’m already the gravity.

Gravity doesn't exist.

 

By changing the pressure. You mentioned cannot change the temperature so I change the pressure such that the water will still turn to ice.

It's technically breaking rule #3 because you're manipulating air molecules, but kudos for being subtle about it :P

3. You can't use anything else than the cup itself.

That goes for solving anything, but I tried to minimize that factor (which is never successful).

Yes.... but you see, now I just have to make another rule :)

The rules are kinda corrupted anyway because I didn't anticipate people to start talking about space. I cba adjusting the rules to fit with relativistic mechanics (1. I'm not qualified, and 2. nobody will understand :P).

So, you basically created a problem, and want us to solve it?
Do you want this problem or not? :D 
If you don't want it, then why create it? :D
If you do, then why do you want us to solve it? :D

I already gave the answer earlier :P. I would say Tim R came pretty close.
