    You look younger than I imagined in that video trash.
    I'll show the kids, hopefully they will know all the answers because I'm only guessing them...

    I've been holding off posting a reply until the official explanations came out.


    The one flipping the phone had me puzzled. It's common to see this behaviour with something like a tennis racket and I've been able to flip it so that it doesn't rotate in another axis
    but I've never understood why it was unpredictable. (now I know). It says something about space craft manoeuvring too and has a lot to do with an RC aircraft I'm testing at the moment.

    The teabag one sucks, and my confusion was more about it not being a rocket but just being lifted by shit arse convection. I want a refund on that question !

    But it was the answer on the cereal that was my favourite. Not that it has iron in it. That was too easy. But that somebody else mentioned the diamagnetism of water and they
    have given such an excellent demonstration of it. Give that guy an A++ for his science. Towing plastic around with a magnet.
    Yes I am an agent of Satan, but my duties are largely ceremonial.
