I have a science question?
If you fill a large glass with ice, then fill it to the top with water, as the ice melts how long will it take for the glass to start overflowing?

Depends, how long will it take for someone to add more water to make it overflow.
Water is one of the odd items where it's solid form is actually larger volume than it's liquid form. So it'll underflow, instead of overflow as the ice melts. As ice takes up more room, which can be proven by throwing a full water bottle in the freezer, and it will destroy the bottle.
