Don't feel bad, u probably just overthought it, being so highly learned in science. I know I was thinking of some altered form of water that was highly saturated lol.
"What's this water made of, ice?"
That's easy, you deserved it.
Brain fart
Hmm... I looked up the definition of water and every definition I find online assumes "water" refers to the liquid state. I'm a 4th yr university student as well and I find it weird how many people have text books referring to ice as "solid water." I've never heard of the term myself and in my opinion the editors of those texts tried too hard to sound smart... quote: wa·ter (wôtr, wtr) n. 1. A clear, colorless, odorless, and tasteless liquid, H2O, essential for most plant and animal life and the most widely used of all solvents. Freezing point 0°C (32°F); boiling point 100°C (212°F); specific gravity (4°C) 1.0000; weight per gallon (15°C) 8.338 pounds (3.782 kilograms).

It's okay, when you study so much you can have stupid lapses like that.
It happens. You don't really realize what some things are at first, even if it should be obvious.
