Hi,

Also note that using your lips to observe the level will change the level!

Ah! The famous Oktoberfest Uncertainty Principle. Sometimes stated as, "It is impossible to both enjoy Oktoberfest and to remember Oktoberfest." Or, more succinctly, "One cannot remember enjoying Oktoberfest."

Only if it's in a box. And if the capacity of the box is two live cats, then your box may or may not be half full or may or may not be half empty.

With two cats, the probability is 1/4 that there are 18 lives left and 1/4 that there are none. The probabilities for intermediate states cannot be calculated without resorting to Gödelian numbers and contain unnormalizable infinities. Indeed, the whole study of QCD (Quantum Cat Dynamics) is complex beyond understanding, but progress is being made on Fundamental Hairball Theory -- basically an indigestible multidimensional string theory.
