So it might not be so tricky… But I’ve gotten most people with it.

We have 2 buckets. Each one has an equal amount of water. One bucket’s water is at 82 F degrees. The other one is at 28 F degrees.

If I drop one ball on each one at the same time (that’s **two** balls). Which one is going to hit the bottom of the bucket first?
