How not to spill your coffee

A mathematical model has been developed to determine how best not to slosh your coffee while walking with it.

"So how does one avoid a spill? Krechetnikov and Mayer's answers may not come as a big surprise. Starting your walk slower—that is, accelerating less—will help. So will leaving a decent gap between the top of the coffee and the mug's rim; this should be at least one-eighth of the mug's diameter-for a normal mug, about a centimeter should do it. But the researchers' "take home" advice is to look at what you're doing—so long as your mug isn't filled too high, a watched mug almost guarantees a clean run."

UNLESS you run into somebody coming the other way while you're staring at the coffee sloshing in your mug!
