Wrong Scott - the water level in the glass would rise by the volume of ice above the water level minus up to 20%, divided by the surface area of that water level.
The % is because of the differences in densities of water and ice. Ice density will vary with temp.
Just because you don't have the precision to measure something does not mean that it is not happening.
