Report Quote #10068

Schwartz: I have a tank with an inflow and an outflow pipe. Give me a liquid. //Someone suggests hydrochloric acid. Schwartz: *draws HCl in the tank* Here's our tank of hydrochloric acid. Give me a particulate substance. //Class calls out suggestions and take a vote. Sprinkes and glass shards tie. Schwartz: We have a tie... So, it'll be glass sprinkles! Schwartz: Now give me an aquatic animal. //Another vote among suggestions is taken. Schwartz: I think I know which one is going to win... *"Steven Wang & Isaiah Ying" wins* (context: they both swim competitively) Schwartz: *draws human figures in the tank* Schwartz: These are magical Stevens and Isaiahs. They are not hurt by our hydrochloric acid or glass sprinkles, and they need not breathe. Their purpose is to constantly swim, perfectly mixing the glass sprinkles with the hydrochloric acid. Schwartz: This represents an everyday situation that we can use math to simulate!
