jsdodgers Dec 09, 2007	Wow. I dont think there is one person that doesnt know that. Too obvious
tpg76 Dec 09, 2007	Technically you can't "boil" a solid. You can melt a solid and then boil the liquid, or (under the right conditions) you can sublime a solid.
calmsavior Dec 09, 2007	If this was in "Trick", that would have been my answer.
savages Dec 09, 2007	boring and E-Z

CatsAreCute Jan 14, 2008	Again, you can't boil a solid. Fun! Easy!
i_luv_2_read Apr 09, 2008	i thought it was something more interesting than that...maybe the ice would sublime (go from solid to gas w/o changing to liquid first) but it was the overly simple answer that was right...
friesaregood Apr 11, 2008	But that's not boiling the ice! That's melting the ice and then boiling the liquid.
tonjawithaj Apr 14, 2008	Have to agree with Fries on this one!
