How to boil water

This is what I just did while doing a math problem:

Problem number 1.   How do you boil water given a teapot, a turned off stove, and water?
Solution: Fill the teapot with water, turn on the stove, put teapot on stove, wait to boil.

Problem number 2.  How do you boil water given a teapot full of water, a turned on stove, and water?
Solution. Empty the teapot, turn off the stove, and repeat solution to Problem 1.


I feel ridiculous.
