I do not often share videos but had to share this one. Wish I could embed it here.

How many of you figured out the answer to the puzzle before the end of the video? I figured it out but if I told you when it would ruin it the experiment. ;D

Lots of trouble getting the link to post sorry for the delay.

My nut would of had a ever so slight taste of urine.

I noticed the bottle of water on the shelf behind them.

This is similar to the crow that gets water out of a glass by adding stones to the glass to raise the water level.

That was the clue. ;)

Seemed pretty obvious to me...I thought of floating it out as soon as I saw the set-up.

Not everyone's brains work the same though. Just because someone couldn't quickly figure it out doesn't mean they're not smart.

Obvious, unless you think you are limited to what is on the table.

That some of you got it right away based on the setup is what makes me happy to hang around dirty old bikers. [thumbsup]

Common sense is becoming uncommon. Most all of my crew guys are 18 to 30 years old. Only one of them got it. Surprisingly it was the 18 year old. But he is studying to be an astrophysicist so I am not surprised in his case.

Yep, peeing in the tube was my immediate thought until I saw the bottle of water. ;D

First thing i would have done is searched for a tool... the water was most obvious

Problem solving is one of my biggest strengths.

However, so is problem causing.

So, while I would've immediately thought of adding liquid to float it out, the first thing I would've actually tried would've been throwing a full momentum heel kick at the side of the tube to break it off and teach the experimenters a lesson of their own.

Then I would've jammed the tube into the make the beast with two backsing speaker so that horrendous "music" would stop. ;D
