I followed up the wrong post would be the most logical explanation.

Oh .. it was just you said "Nope, plus 4, thats why ice floats". I
thought it was less dense and you agreed with me. Now I am confused 'coz
the plus 4 seems to have no relevance to the ice's ability to float, and
instead it's based on the density of the liquid it's in ..

Either I'm missing you not missing how stupid I'm being or I'm stupider
than I think I am.

@Goat:
I reckon the ice'd float 'til it melted. From there it'd be fairly hard
to tell and since the original question refers to ice and it'd be water
so therefore irrelevant anyway.

Eww pedant germs ! Geddemoffme!

Err no .. pretty sure you missed what we were getting at .. a sentence
being a single self contained statement..

More pedant germs..

Or
c) it wasn't me who said "Nope, plus 4, thats why ice floats".

And you're missing a damn good insult when you've seen one!
