To Catch a Chill “I can’t believe my mother made me wear this heavy coat,” Paige complained as she walked to school with friends one morning. “My mother is the same way,” Tyra said, splashing through a puddle in her heavy waterproof boots. “Hey, wait a minute,” Lin said, picking up the hat that had blown off her head. “Were your mothers listening to that new radio station that plays those old songs all the parents like?” “Yes!” Paige said. “I can’t believe the music they play!” “Some of those songs must be 20 years old!” Tyra added. “It was on at our house, too,” Lin said. “I heard the announcer say that it would feel like 25 degrees Fahrenheit this morning, and that is when my mom handed me these gloves.” “So what?” Paige asked. “I see what Lin means,” Tyra said, jumping from puddle to puddle. “At 25 degrees Fahrenheit, this water would be frozen. Water freezes at 32 degrees and below.” “I think our parents should start listening to a different radio station,” Lin said. “I don’t think that would help,” Paige said. “Why wouldn’t it? The people at that station clearly don’t know anything more about weather than they know about music,” Tyra said. REVEAL ANSWER

January Selected from: One Minute Mysteries: 65 Short Mysteries You Solve With Math! Setting the Date One night, Elijah and Kevin were watching the debate for the upcoming presidential election. They were in Kevin’s family room taking notes about the topics that were being discussed and the main points each candidate was making. There was going to be a quiz on the debate in their social studies class the next morning. Kevin’s younger brother, John, was sitting at the computer in the corner, working on the invitations for his birthday party, which was going to be on January 6th. He always had his party on the actual day of his birthday, even if it was a school day. He was getting excited about it already, even though it was more than two months away. Kevin had helped him get started on the computer program, but had to move over to the TV when the debate came on. John read aloud what he had written so far: “You are invited to a party for John’s birthday on . . . something, January 6th. Kevin, what day of the week is my birthday going to be? We don’t have a calendar for next year yet.” “How should I know?” Kevin said. “I’m trying to watch this debate.” “Do you remember what day of the week your birthday was on earlier this year?” Elijah asked John. “Sunday,” John replied. “I remember we watched a pro football game on TV during the party.” “Well, then shouldn’t it be obvious which day of the week your next birthday will be?” Elijah asked.

Día de las brujas psicodélico —Oye, tengo una foto vieja de mi abuela vestida como tú, solo que ella no estaba disfrazada —dijo Kassandra cuando Ingrid entró al salón de clases—. Dijo que en su época creían verse muy bien. Normalmente su colegio tenía un código de vestimenta, pero era Halloween, el día de las brujas, y todos habían ido a la escuela disfrazados. Ingrid estaba vestida de hippie. Traía puesta una camisa de colores al batik, cuentas de colores, sandalias, y unas gafas con lentes color naranja en forma de corazones. Ingrid se quitó las gafas durante la clase, pero se las volvió a poner en la tarde a la hora de prepararse para la fiesta. Los alumnos estaban decorando el salón y pintando letreros para el desfile de la escuela. Quan, que pensaba que era muy chistoso, estaba colgando decoraciones al revés. Preston fingía que luchaba a espadas en su disfraz de piratas, y Ricky jugaba con sangre artificial después de ponerse un poco en su disfraz de zombi. Al acercarse la hora del desfile, Kassandra se dio cuenta de que uno de los letreros había sido decorado con una calabaza roja en vez de naranja. —¿A ver, quién es el chistoso? —preguntó Kassandra. Miró alrededor del salón en busca de una cara culpable. REVELA RESPUERTA

May Selected from: One Minute Mysteries: 65 MORE Short Mysteries You Solve With Science! Finding A Solution Spring had turned the corner and twins Frances and Fiona were pleased that they could start spending time outside in their backyard. The family's yard was sheltered by trees with long branches, perfect for the girls' hobby of bird watching. Frances had the job of mixing sugar in water for their hummingbird feeder. In the past, the girls noticed that more hummingbirds came to the feeder when they used a more sugary mix. This year Frances had decided to make the mix as sweet as possible. In the kitchen, she added sugar to hot water until sugar started collecting in the bottom of the pot even while she was stirring it. Then she filled the feeder with the water solution. "I just love it when we get to see so many hummingbirds!" Frances said as she screwed the lid onto the feeder. The girls hung the feeder on a tree branch where they could watch from their deck. It took a few days for the hummingbirds to start coming, and when they did, the birds left almost instantly each time. The girls went out to check the feeder. "I think I see the problem," Fiona said, scraping powder from the feeding holes. "Where did that come from?" Frances asked. "The birds can't get the mix out of the feeder," Fiona said. "This powder clogging the holes is sugar." "I didn't put any sugar on the outside," Frances protested. "And I stopped adding sugar to the water when the sugar started collecting at the bottom of the water even when I was stirring it. I know that when there's as much sugar as the water can hold, the water is saturated and can't dissolve any more sugar. Isn't that right?" REVEAL ANSWER

Hallando la solución La primavera había llegado y las gemelas Frances y Fiona estaban contentas de que podrían empezar a pasar tiempo afuera en su jardín. El jardín de la familia estaba cubierto por árboles con ramas largas; el sitio perfecto para el pasatiempo de las gemelas de avistar aves. Frances tenía la labor de mezclar azúcar con agua para el bebedero de los colibríes. En el pasado, las niñas habían notado que mientras más dulce preparaban el almíbar, más colibríes venían. Este año Frances había decidido hacer la mezcla lo más dulce posible. En la cocina, agregó el azúcar al agua caliente hasta que el azúcar empezó al acumularse al fondo de la hoya aun cuando revolvía el agua. Luego llenó el bebedero de los pájaros con la solución de agua. —¡Me encanta cuando vemos muchos colibríes! —exclamó Frances, tapando el bebedero. Las niñas colgaron el bebedero de una rama que podían observar desde su terraza. Pasaron varios días antes de que empezaran a aparecer los colibríes, y cuando por fin llegaban, se iban casi al instante. Las niñas fueron a revisar el bebedero. —Creo que veo el problema —dijo Fiona, raspando polvo de los hoyos en el bebedero. —¿De dónde salió eso? —preguntó Frances. —Los pájaros no pueden sacar la mezcla del bebedero —dijo Fiona—. Este polvo que está obstruyendo las aperturas en el bebedero es azúcar. —Pero yo no puse azúcar en la parte de afuera —protestó Frances—. Y dejé de agregarle azúcar al agua cuando se empezó a acumular en el fondo mientras la revolvía. Sé que cuando el agua ya no aguanta más azúcar, está saturada y no puede disolver más. ¿No es cierto?
