This is another Brain teaser.

This is another Brain teaser. I will provide you with some vague clues, and you have to use you noodle to figure it out. Feel free to voice your opinion in the comment box. Remember there are no stupid answers just stupid people.  I work with them everyday.

Pete and Paul were cleaning out the garage when they came along two bowling balls. One ball was 9 pounds and the other one was 7 pounds.  Pete who was tired of cleaning the garage decides its time to experiment.  He runs off and comes back with two buckets full of water.  One bucket is filled with 40 degree Fahrenheit water and the other one was 30 degrees Fahrenheit.   He gave the 7 pound ball to Paul and stood him in front of the 40 degree bucket. He took the 9 pound ball and stood in front of the other bucket.  If they both hold the ball at the same point and drop it at exactly the same time who’s ball will hit the bottom of the bucket first? The buckets are exactly the same type and filled to the same level.

    the 9 pound ball its heavier and would fall faster until it hits the water.

    Probably the 7 pound ball, the 30 degree water is frozen.
