Just thought it would be interesting to see possible answers. I'll post the correct one fairly soon.
"You have just made a kettle of boiling water to make a cup of tea. You want the tea to cool down to drinking temerature as quick as possible. Do you put the milk in before or after the tea?
The most important thing is reasoning.
Yus, Stephen got it right away.
Hint:
It is not to do with with convection currents.
The correct answer, beautifully phrased:

Yes. So shut yo' cakehole, mofo. :-)
Do you people know how long you have spent talking about tea?

Well actually, if you really want to be pedantic in that case you should also use fresh water for the tea pot, bring it to the boil pour a little in the cup/pot to warm it pour that out, add milk, reboil and THEN pour the water in. So nuts to you, I know how to make tea but that process is far to time consuming.

Physics - I hated it.

Not sure what you're getting at.
Anyhoo, he's right... probaby.

When you pour the milk in its not all going in at the same time, due to there being less volume of milk surely the tea would heat it quicker than if the cup was full of milk first and you added the tea?

When you pour the milk in its not all going in at the same time, due to there being less volume of milk surely the tea would heat it quicker than if the cup was full of milk first and you added the tea?
Shortly after, Professer Hawking was asked something else:
"Pass the sugar."
"Pass the sugar."
Ask the maid to get it. Dirty white-collar thread.
