Hot Cup of coffee and cream riddle
You are served a hot cup of coffee and room-temperature cream at a restaurant. You want to wait a few minutes before you drink the coffee, and you want it to be as hot as possible when you drink it. Should you pour the cream in the coffee:
a) Immediately
b) Just before you drink it
c) It doesn’t matter
c) It doesn’t matter
Explanation:What are the possibilities
1.If it ice cream is below room temperature it will cool the coffee.
2.If it ice cream is above room temperature(hypothetical) it will heat the coffee.
since the ice cream is in room temperature no heat transfer takes place so it doesn’t matter when you put it.
Immediately. This is because cream is lighter and will float on the surface. This will reduce the chances of heat loss taking from the surface, thus keeping the coffee hot for larger duration
