What's the most wet that ice can be?
And how could it be this wet?

ice is not wet, water is wet.
if you melt ice, it gets water and therefore wet.
if you call a combination of ice and water also "ice", then its wet because it contains (liquid) water.
this wettest "ice" would be therefore very very much water with a little bit of ice in it.

you probably forgot all these phases that occur at higher pressures, there's many types of ice (from I to VII at least, iirc)

but then again, I don't understand the question to begin with. How wet can ice be.. ehh

Nope, I didn't forget them. I just dont know them xD (Yes, I know plasma, and I know that the states of matter of an element depend on the preasure, etc...)

But you are talking about the phases of water? ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice#Phases )

I'm talking about the 3 classical states of an element, a.e. water: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter#The_three_classical_states

I bet the questioner was outside and thought: Why this snow is so wet now? I've seen snow that was so awesome powdery... Let's ask jsp!
(and therefore I somehow answered those questions, without thinking more )

Water is not a state of matter, liquid is. And there are four states of matter, not three. Solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

thanks! thats what i wanted to write

Shit goes weird at low pressures and temperature. Look up a phase diagram of Helium near absolute 0

well if there was a lot of water with a little ice in it, wouldn't the water be the only wet part and the ice itself would be no more wet than any other ice?

exactly

so how wet is the most wet that ice could ever be under the optimal conditions?
