Along with the video, she writes: ‘Though you and your family may be on lockdown self-isolating – confined to your home – there are plenty of ways to keep your children educated and entertained using very limited resources. #recap’.
The woman is seen filling her wine glass her glass to a quarter, then explaining ‘a quarter’, filling it to a half, then explaining ‘a half’, then to three quarters, and adding ‘a half’ then to the top, concluding ‘a whole’.
She then gulps down the last drops, and concludes: ‘None! Recap’, before toting the bottle to fill up her empty wine glass again.
