The Steamy Mirror
Situation
Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.Situation
This morning my shower went a little longer than usual. When I went to blow dry my hair, I found that my mirror was all steamed up. I tried wiping it with a towel, but that just left a streaky smear. I know that if I leave the door open, it will clear off eventually, but I'm running late and don't have time. How can I quickly clear the steam off the mirror so I can blow dry my hair and get to work on time?
Answer
Just use the blow drier. It will clear the steam off the mirror in seconds!Hide Answer Show Answer

Fun and useful!
The mirror fogs up (or steams) because its surface is cooler than the surrounding air, allowing moisture to condense on it. Whenyou blow dry the mirror, not only do you evaporate the condensate, you also warm the mirror's surface to prevent further condensation! Good solution to a common problem!

i thought u would like spit on it lol xD
um...too easy but still kinda fun!
I run a few drips of water down the surface, not as effective as blowdrying it but it does a good enough job that i can see my hair while I brush it.
