Weekend Challenge: Super Hot Pop Quiz!

1 Wooden Barrel as it is less conductive to heat than the metal one.. meaning the heated liquid will lose heat more slowly in the Wooden Barrel 2 Stir the potion - as the top layer looses heat the most quickly stirring it will cause the more cooled top layer and the hotter lower ones to mix and even out keeping the loss of heat constant and faster than if the heat had to travel through the cooled layer of liquid. 3 just above the flame : Most of the flame's heat is delivered toward the tip, where a large volume of gas is always burning and convection is sweeping hot gases constantly upwards. If you want to heat something with a candle, hold it near the tip.

1) Of the two, a wooden barrel, though even such a non-heat-conductive material as wood couldn't touch my heart for how long it holds hot the blood heated by my feelings for the alchemist. 2) Stirring the potion would cool it down quickest by maintaining the greatest temperature differential between the liquid and the outside air and thus the greatest loss of heat, though not as quickly as the bucket of ice water I hope the alchemist doesn't dump on my head. 3) Blue flames burn hottest due to abundant oxygen causing complete combustion, unlike the partial combustion of yellow or red flames, or just the sooty smoulder of no flames at all. And though blue flames blaze, they still cannot compare to how scorchingly hot the blue of the alchemist's cleavage is. Why, yes, Alchemist, I did take a sip of the minty green potion by your desk. Why do you ask?

1: Wooden, 2: Stir, 3: blue part of the flame

1. The Wooden Barrel would work best as it will absorb the heat slower keeping the heat in the liquid instead. 2. stirring the potion will keep the heat even allowing it to lose heat at a constant rate rather than only the top layer. 3. The blue part of the flame as there is where the most oxygen is so you'll get the most heat.

1. wooden barrel: metal conducts heat better so the liquid will give the heat fast to the metal than the wood 2. stirring: the potion will cool outside first, so stirring will mix the warmer liquid from the center with the rest 3. just above the flame: as there is where the focus point of the heat is. (then the brightest part of the flame, then the blue)

*Adjusts glasses and clears throat* 1. The metal coil, metal atoms are denser and transmit heat easier, where wood is looser, transmiting less readily and dried dead wood is full of small air pockets, further slowing the transfer of heat. 2. Stirring the potion would cool it faster, stirring increases the surface area of the liquid bringing more of it to the surface to cool faster. 3. Just above the flame at the tip, where complete combustion of the wick is taking place at the blue outer shell of the flame...At least I think that's all right? Am I getting warmer?
