[QUOTE="Freodin, post: 71300414, member: 1363"] Maybe not my most embarrasing one, but the one I still clearly remember, after all these decades. A test about heat capacity and energy transfer: we were to calculate how fast a ice cube suspended over a candle would melt. I calculated and recalculated multiple times, but I couldn't find the mistake: My little icecube took over three days to melt. ;) [/QUOTE]
