You have two cones which you wish filled with water. If you set the cones down, it'll tip, and the water will pour out.
The spout needed to fill the cones requires one hand to operate. You cannot turn on the water, then grab a cone, as the hand has to stay on the spout.
Seeing as you have two hands, how do you fill the cones? If you fill a cone and put it down to fill the other, the first will spill out onto the ground.
The answer was easier for kids to get than adults: You ask a friend to hold a cone. The point being that not everything needs to be done on your own. Not relevant, but I was reminded...
