Easy to visualize but challenging to solve: that's the kind of math puzzle you get here, one per episode. (Do you love the Car Talk Puzzler too? Yeah, that's what I'm trying for here, only with even more of a math bent.)

02: Glass half full? [*]

Wes Carroll
I have two cylindrical glasses that, when full, hold the same amount of water. The short glass has a radius that is half again as large as the tall one’s. Last night, I filled the short one completely, and then I filled the tall one to exactly the same level.

How full was the tall glass? (You can answer as a fraction or a percentage.)
