Sort of. Technically, glass is a liquid because it has viscosity. In other words it will flow, even if it is very, very slow. For instance, the glass in ancient cathedrals is thicker on the lower part of the pane because of gravity pulling the glass to flow down.

Since most people think of glass as a solid, I guess you could say that it has properties of both at the same time.

Actually, substances can exist in all three states of matter simultaneously if the conditions are right. The triple pointof a substance is the temperature and pressure at which all three states occur in equilibrium. Water can exist in natural environments in all three states of matter -- solid (ice), liquid, and gas (steam or water vapor).
Wikipedia has an okay article on triple point, but it could use some work.
By the way, when you put ice in a glass of water to create "ice water," the ice and water coexist awhile; that is, the ice stops melting. Water in both liquid and solid forms exists in the glass. The temperature of the ice and water is just slightly above zero degrees Celsius. Heat of Fusion
One point: under ordinary circumstances and at one atmosphere, water that is above zero degrees Celsius will always be liquid and never ice. Water that is below zero degrees Celsius will always be ice and never liquid. It's what happens at zero degrees that is interesting. The reason that it is possible to have stable ice and stable liquid water at zero degrees (ice is not melting and water is not freezing) is because nothing is absorbing heat, and nothing is giving up heat. There is a certain amount of heat which, when added to ice, will not increase the temperature of ice and will not give you liquid water that is warmer than the ice. This is the "heat of fusion". The heat of fusion is absorbed by the ice, but its energy does the work of converting the ice to liquid water without heating up anything. Similarly, when the heat of fusion is extracted from liquid water at zero degrees, the water turns to ice at zero degrees.

Non-Newtonian fluids are really not liquid and solid at the same time, but substances that react differently to different kinds of pressure. You can walk or run across a non-Newtonian fluid, but as soon as you stand still, you sink! See link below.

It is possible to compound liquids and solids. The dissolving of a solid into an aqueous state is the compounding of the two. Think of Jello. When you make it, you start with a solid, add it to hot water. What have you done? You've changed the characteristics of the solid by compounding or dissolving it into the water.

Yes, they can. They can combine in solution, where the liquid (solvent) dissolves the solid (solute). They can also form a suspension if the solid won't dissolve in the liquid, if that solid is finely divided. When that solid is "mixed in" and held suspended in the liquid, it won't settle out for some time.

Well. Im not sure to what depth you want to go into.

But to keep this simple, i will say yes.

Solution:- Place an ice cube in water, that way the solid and liquid are then mixing

It has less because you add a solid and liquid together and you get less.

Is a jam a solid liquid or gas?

liquidI would say that it is actually both a liquid and a solid. It definitely is NOT a gas. It "sticks" together like a solid, but still has the viscosity, or fluidity, of a liquid.

Is the inner and outer core together solid and liquid?

Well, the outer core is made of liquid and the inner core is solid so i guess in a way it kind of is solid and liquid.

Only one phase change of the four is possible, that of a liquid to a gas. Increased molecular energy is related to dissociative phase changes : solid to liquid / liquid to gas.
