Sesame street teaches sceaence!

Extremely dense, judging by what I see/hear from her.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

I got correct on all 5 counts. Just for curiosity's sake I went for the coconut again and clicked "Sink." Since the hypothesis is repeated in the conclusion video, it seems there's a different conclusion video for every hypothesis. So I thought of this experiment of my own. See how many views the right hypothesis and the wrong hypothesis videos get.

Damn how do they hide all the supporting videos?! I search for the common title and all I can get is the START video. I had to go through every object and hypothesis! (Just realized, they made all the supporting videos "unlisted" and that's why they neither appear on search, nor in their Uploads page. Very clever!)

Float: 6,532 (Right)

It seems the lemon hypothesis is the hardest and (quite obviously) the rubber duckie hypothesis is the easiest.

I wonder if SSS teaches you how historical science, geological science and space science works (you know, things that can't be tested by dropping in water).

same video with different annotations -> feature=iv&annotation_id=

 

[FaithlessThinker]

same video with different annotations -> feature=iv&annotation_id=

Wrong. Different videos as evidenced by -> v=
and also by the fact that the annotations are links to different videos, and also by the fact that every time u click an annotation, a new page loads and a new video starts playing from the beginning.

Anyway I had already answered my own question:

I stand corrected.

Wait, what do you mean "correct on all 5 counts"? There were only 4 things you could try, weren't there?
The starting video and then it branches out into coconut, rubber duck, rubber ball and limes. Or doesn't it? Did I miss something?

Lemon and lime are separate.

So she dissolves.

Zomg I didn't notice that they were different. Oh well, I'd have gotten that one right too I think, was too obvious in the end,

 

[Duvelthehobbit666]

But why do limes have a larger density than lemons. It would seem to me that they would be quite similar in density due to similarities.

Lemons have a large purous outer shell, a lime shell is thin and compact.

What a fantastic little series. Love it

That makes sense. Thanks.
