The way water is in celery is not the way water is in a bottle - not topologically inside it, but metaphysically as one of its constituents.

At the end of the day, the greengrocer has not sold a single cucumber, and the cucumbers are only 98% water. How many kilograms of cucumbers has the greengrocer left at the end of the day?
