    I’d weigh the jug as-is, then weigh it full, and then weigh it empty; the proceeding trivial calculation of the original filled volume would be arguably more accurate.

      The engineering way to do it. Why go through the trouble of perfectly modeling it if you can just test a few times. Either that or consider the jug a cylinder and add a safety factor of 2.

        It also gives you a way to validate your calculations when you inevitably do model it.

      You can’t weigh the jug, because it’s in an image.

      Anyone with a couple brain cells to rub together can figure out how full a physical jug of water is in a number of ways. The joke is that only an autistic person would try to produce an exact measurement based off an image.
