[@Bia-pn8hi]

a little fun fact (at least it's fun for me), the mini sculpture that they focus on during the water task, is from the mathematician archimedes, he was the one who discovered how to calculate the volume of irregular objects, according to the story, by putting them in the water (i dont know if they talked about this on the full episode, i hope they did)

[@cellina.starfire]

And that's why the bricks spelled "Eureka", too!

[@yyunko7764]

More than this, he figured out the relation between the force exerted on an object in a liquid, its density, its volume, and the density of the liquid, which is arguably a much more important result. In the legend it allowed him to calculated the density of the crown of a king and proove that the jeweler who made it stole some of the gold. It also instrumental in designing boats as it helps you determine the center of its floating force. And finally it explains how hot air balloons work.

[@JustSwivel2]

The hands task reminds me of a Terry Pratchett - Granny Weatherwax bit. She's trapped in a magic hall of mirrors. "“When can I get out?” WHEN YOU FIND THE ONE THAT’S REAL. “Is this a trick question?” NO. Granny looked down at herself. “This one,” she said."

@@kawaiilotus Could've argued: 1 small fishtank + 5 fingers

[@HOTD108_]

Wouldn't work. It's physically impossible to submerge an air pocket that large without the water suddenly erupting upwards and spilling at least a little out of the tank, thus disqualifying you.

[@macdjord]

@@HOTD108_ What are you talking about? Just gently lower the small tank in, right side up (i.e. the open side is on top). The further you push it in, the more water is displaces; push it down just the right amount and it'll bring the water to the top. It won't be very stable, but that's fine as long as you don't let go. Don't make any sudden moves and nothing will splash. Maybe insert it into the water coner first to make sure you don't trap an air bubble on the bottom which might escape later and splash.

[@macdjord]

@@kawaiilotus Pick 5 other small random objects and toss them in first. (Or 3 other objects, if the judge decides to count your hands as objects. Be sure to ask if he will first!) My point is that the small fish tank, by virtue of being pushed down with your hands, can displace however much water you need it to.
