We all know that water is blue... if you look at the ocean, it's clearly blue (unless you're looking into one of the multitude of oil-spills now polluting the coastlines)... Anyhow... when you pour yourself a glass of water... it's clear. Keeping in mind that water molecules have a blueness to them, how deep would water have to be in order for it to appear 'blue' instead of 'clear' ? It's a brutal question, but I remember it from one of my highschool physics assignments... (ie: I got it wrong)
