Here is the answer to last week’s brainteaser: You take the bet of course. You take a length of wire, drape it over the ice block and tie a weight to the ends on the bottom. The wire cuts slowly through the block, yet the block “heals” after the wire’s passing. You are taking advantage of a phenomenon called “regelation.” CEE senior Adam Ojeda submitted the right answer. Stay tuned for next week’s brainteaser.
