They threw the lemon into the water – swims, threw a lime – drowned. What kind of business? This riddle blew up the network, and, as GLAVRED.info writes (16+), only real geniuses know the answer. Want to unravel the secret of citrus fruits?
Why lime is drowning
Lime – the fruit is tighter. Its peel is thin, and the pulp is stuffed with juice without unnecessary voids. The lime density is slightly higher than that of the water, so it drowning like a pebble. Plus, Lima has fewer air pockets inside – it is all such “continuous”.
Why is lemon floating
Lemon, on the contrary, is easier. Its peel is thicker and dry, and there are more air gaps inside. It is like a float: the air inside reduces the density, and the lemon rests on the water. Even if you squeeze the lemon, it will still be easier than water.
Want to see for yourself? Take the lemon with Lyme and throw in a bowl of water. Lime will drown, and the lemon will remain afloat.
This riddle is not just a joke, but a way to understand how the laws of nature work. The density, structure, air – all this decides, will drown something or not. Plus, you can shine with your mind at a party or surprise friends.
