5 haystacks in one field and 4 haystacks in the other field, how many

- If I dropped
a bowling ball in a bucket of water which is 45 degrees F, and dropped
another ball of the same weight, mass,and size in a bucket at 30 degrees
F, both of them at the same time, which ball would hit the bottom of
the bucket first? Same question, but the location is in Canada?
The ball in the bucket of 45 degree F water hits
the bottom of the bucket last. Did you think that the water in the 30
degree F bucket is frozen? Think again. The question said nothing about
that bucket having anything in it. Therefore, there is no water (or
ice) to slow the ball down...
