I just finished doing the sentence "A glass of rice" and now I'm doing "A bowl of water"... How about we switch those two to make more sense?
"a glass of rice" would more reasonably be translated to "a cup of rice" as in the measurement for cooking. Not many people drink their rice, and those who do would obviously use a бокал. Much too fancy for a стакан.
We use the glass size to measure dry rice before making it as cups are usually double the size as glasses that are often used for tea drinking in west Asia...different than England's teacups ir Western style mugs. Although in any case, this is only for learning purpose and may not directly match everyone's chosen way to speak and word their sentences.

I agree, but I also think these odd exercises keep us on our toes, even if they are seldom used
this bothers me continuously, it is happening all the time. another example is the mix-up between сестры́ (genitive singular) and сёстры (nominative plural). can Duolingo please fix such pronunciation mistakes? they are very confusing.
Интересненько... Какие факты о китайцах ты ещё знаешь? Давай ,дружок, расскажи..
The audio isn't correct. "a bowl of water" must be "водЫ" (the stress on the last syllable). But in Russian "вОды" is plural of word "вода".
Why is it genitive ? I know we need Genitive after нет and after certain prepositions. When else?
The genitive is used in most cases where English uses "of". So "of water" = "воды".
Absolutely. Try to remove the bows from under the water and there will be trouble. :)

мужебот читает "миску вОды", и ударение неправильное и окончание не соответствует, а бабабот просто ударение ставит не правильно говорит вОды.
Pronunciation of :вода' is wrong here. Stress should be on the second syllable.
Как много русских в комментариях. Всем привет) пойду налью миску вóды )))
should "water bowl" be accepted as well? or is "миска воды" like a literal translation of "bowl of water"? Water bowl sounds fine in English (specifically when referring to a pet, for example). Just want to make sure my understanding of the wording is correct.
Only if it's a water bowl for horses or other animals. https://www.valleyvet.com/group_images/44701_A.jpg
Не совсем так. "Миска" очень даже используемое слово, просто не по отношению к тому, из чего едят люди. То, из чего едят/пьют животные, и то, в чём готовят, вполне себе миска.
ми́ска (míska) [ˈmʲiskə] f inan (genitive ми́ски, nominative plural ми́ски, genitive plural ми́сок) "bowl, tureen" From Proto-Slavic *misa, compare Polish misa, Old Church Slavonic миса (misa), Czech mísa. Ultimately from Latin mēnsa ("table").
Интересно, будут исправлять ошибки в произношении? Ведь кто-то так и выучит...

Who the Fruk is putting water in a bowl? (Except me when there is no glasses because they are in the dishwasher)
This may be my western imperialism speaking, but shouldn't water be in a glass, not a bowl
Well, we don’t often fill bowls with water, but Duolingo’s sentences don’t always correspond to reality. I mean, there are sentences about dragons eating warriors in this course!
That being said, ‘a glass of water’ would be «стака́н воды́».
Нет. "Миска с водОЙ"="A bowl WITH water". Здесь другой смысл предложения. "Миска/стакан/бутылка.... воды" - имеем ввиду именно воду, а посудой мы показываем количество. В варианте "Миска С водой/кашей/супом/собачьим кормом..." - фокус на слове "миска", которая может быть с чем угодно.
I wish the typo correction was more consistent, of and or are easy to mistype quickly
