Can You Solve this Ice Diamond Riddle? ft. Vsauce’s Michael Stevens

When solving this problem, it's good to take things to an absurd proportion.  If an iceberg with a piece of charcoal sat in a pool (okay, smaller iceberg), when the ice melts, the water level will of course go up, BUt the question was , what will happen when the diamond sinks at that point.  The water level will actually go DOWN.  this is because a glacier displacing the water, when removed makes the water go DOWN.  But a diamond, which is compressed coal, and also dense, will go down, but not displace the water.  It's tough because it's frozen diamond in a glass.  Assuming the diamond weighs down the ice, the diamond is Displacing the water.  Once it's kerplunked out from the cube, the ice rises, and the water level goes down.Any Fan of this channel knows the answer to this problem already. ♥
