How do you hold six pint glasses in such a way that you can pour a perfect pint into one of them, without stacking them, or getting your fingers wet?

Answer
Turn one glass upside down and put it on a table. Put five glasses around it in a circle, right way up. Put a finger (and your thumb) into each glass right way up. You should be able to pick up the middle glass (the one upside down) and keep a grip of the other five. Turn your hand upside down so the glass in the middle is right way up. You can now pour a perfect pint into the middle glass provided you know how to pull a perfect pint!!!Hide Answer Show Answer

OR you could stack all the glasses into each other, and the pour into the top one.
Opps I forgot to include not stacking them!
How about between your knees?

You could hold five in one hand (a finger in each glass) and one in the other, into which a pint could be poured quite easily. A bit of a poor puzzle really when you think about it.
I'm sorry but your answer didn't make any since to me or who I' talking to, it was a great teaser though.
The change was "or stacking them", asI you forgot to put, so it is there now.
that seems awfully hard ... i think i'll go have a beer !
Even a near perfect one would be welcomed. Good pub trick, with practice, good for a pint or two.
