lol... are you a neat freak, or do you do the two drops of water with an eye-dropper to break the surface tension?

I rarely drink whisky, but when I do it is normlly neat, occaisionally with water. The main problem with ice is the cold, it kills the taste, ruining the good stuff.
Some of the real buffs drink whisky watered from the same source as the distillary uses, my palette isn't that subtle...

It's just not done.
Unless you only have a cheap knockoff at your disposal, and the only alternative would be a slightly fermented coconut fruit punch. Then the ice is the difference between "well, it was not bad, my lad, a bit cold maybe" and GAAAAH! WHAT ABOMINATION IS THAT?

I have always preferred the empirical approach, so if someone would kindly provide the necessary calculations, diagrams and what not for problem (1), I will gladly go to the nearest pub to try and solve number (2). I could use a research team. Volunteers?

2) This usually easy. It of couse depends on one's level of pain (use pain chart) 1 = "hhhmm, what was that?" to 10 = "@#$%$%&&*%$#@#$%^&*^ dang that hurts".
Then one's body weight, type, and overall health might be of consideration, for other varibles that will factor into the proper amount, how fast the ethanol will be absorbed, processed, and eliminated, within the hour or after the hour. Numbness is a little subjective as well.
If your pain level was equal to say a 7, then we could start with 7 oz. (fluid) of 100 proof grain alcohol. Straight up I am sure that this amount would knock most people on their respective butts. If you weigh 200lbs., depending on the muscle to fat content (bones are extra), and are not classified as a alcoholic (that the above amount would just be getting him started), then one might divide by the ratio of lbs of muscle / lbs of fat. A ratio of about 10 to 1 is a fat content of about 10%, with counting bone, is more like 3 to 1 with out it. This goes to the absorbtion factor, burn rate, blood level, and blood/brain barrier passivity.
For me I weigh 220lbs. and it takes about 1.5 Long Island Iced Teas. The alcohols used are 80 proof, except for the slash of mixer. It is a mix of 1 oz. ea, Vodka, Gin, Rum, Triple Sec, sweet and sour, and the cola is optional. After drinking 1.5 drinks, the pain in my feet from standing for two hours or more goes away and I feel happy.

This requires empirical experimentation.
(And a neat Malt may have a Single lump of ice, but you pur the Malt over the ice, slowly, so as not to bruise it.)

Or, wear shoes and avoid all that difficult math. Which becomes increasingly difficult with each application of liquid pain relief.
Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

This is, actually, an Applied Mathematics problem so I feel much more qualified to answer the question:

resulting pain for 1 hour.
Who cares? Just keep liberally applying to tonsils until the sympathetic effect kicks in and your toe stops throbbing.

According to my maths, you should be footless and have a big hole in the floor of your kitchen, and your ice cube spoiled as much CO2 as the 45000km emitted by my car last year.

How much CO2 is 45000Km? Is that a lot?

When our physics prof explained to us that carrying a bowling ball up a flight of stairs, then carrying it down again results in 0 change in energy levels, i.e. no work done, we decided that physics had no application in the real world.

No, sorry, the post office isn't going to reduce the rate to mail envelopes...
If any of you are wondering why my post rate has been reduced lately (I'm sure you must be on the edge of your seat just dying to know), it is because of a CP bug in IE9 in which pressing CTRL+A will delete the entire message and CTRL+Z does not undo that action. Does not work well with my habit of copying my messages to the clipboard right before I post them. I can't help but wonder if this is some sort of new form of ban.

I already work at 110%, so I'm not sure I could pay any more attention to work.
Actually, I also went camping over the weekend, so that could have been a small factor as well.

I don't want to start any browser war (hence the joke icon), but for me personally any other major browser (FF/Chrome/Opera), that I tried (I use Chrome on regular basis), is better in terms of usability/speed/standardization. That being said, I use IE if I must. But only if I must
