Acid in a Swimming Pool
Trick
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.Trick
In a crazy game show, contestants have to willingly wade through a swimming pool full of an acidic substance to win points for their team. Five of the contestants decide to go through this acidic substance, and when they get to the other side of the pool, none of them are hurt. How is this possible?
Hint
Define acid.Answer
The contestants were wading through lemonade, or a similar acidic substance. Although they're not strong enough to burn your skin, liquids like soda and lemonade are still considered acidic. The contestants were perfectly safe, although some of them wouldn't dare wade through such a sticky substance. This doesn't make the show any less strange, of course.Hide Hint Show Hint Hide Answer Show Answer
