Bronze Ball Contest
Category: Science
In Mrs. Farstaff’s Science class, they are holding a contest. She
has a glass bottle, and a little bronze ball, the size of which is
the exact same as the hole in the bottle. Mrs. Farstaff is giving
the student who can put the ball in the bottle, without breaking the
glass or destroying the ball somehow, an iPOD.
In her room there is a microwave, petroleum jelly, a stove, and a
freezer.
Six of her seven students attempted this feat, but with no luck.
After the sixth student, the seventh, Geoff, comes up to the bottle
and the ball. He thinks of using one of the tools in Mrs. Farstaff’s
room at his disposal, and uses one (not the jelly as it was already
proven to not work) and five hours later, gets the ball in the
bottle and his free iPOD.
How did he do it?
