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:

Tea first then the, unmentioned in the last bit but important, hot water then the milk.

"I can't fecking move you insensitive bast."



And a serious answer, I'd say put the milk in after the tea, even though it doesn't taste as nice.

Sorry - I'm not very good at phrasing this question, but i'll get it tomorrow. Don't take into account the tea bag - Just the water and milk.

Milk first as it cools the mug down perhaps?

Heat travels from the hot body to the cold body if I remember?
