Just reading a textbook and came across this interesting question:
"a daring lab instructor in a demonstration dips his wettened fingers into molten lead (327C) and withdraws them quickly without getting burned. How is this possible?"
I was thinking simply that the water on the fingers will absorb the heat and since he withdraws his fingers quickly it won't reach his hand but this sounds a little shady...any other ideas on this?
