The science teacher loves to trick his class every year with his lesson on making a cloud in a very large water jug.
To make the cloud he fills the jug with a gallon of water, starts a match and lets some of the smoke seep into the jug (the water needs something to cling to to make the cloud).
Then he starts to pressurize it manually. He gets a pump and he starts pumping it. He pumps for about a minute and still no cloud. All of his students think he is doing something wrong, but he just isn't done, yet. What's the last step?
I'm posting one puzzle, riddle, math, or statistical problem a day. Try to answer each one and post your answers in the comments section. I'll post the answer the next day. Even if you have the same answer as someone else, feel free to put up your answer, too!

I think the last thing is opening the jug and POOF! cloud in a jar. It's been years since i have watched Bill Nye or something.
ReplyDeleteThat's right, all he needs to do is release the pump, which will make the water cling to the smoke.
