Thousands of platform users are wondering in a Twitter thread. The interesting thing about this particular case is that the protagonists of the phenomenon two plates stuck one inside the other. It’s vulgar at first glance, but from another angle it’s a scientific challenge. Yesterday, Chi Nguyễn posted a thread on the social network He told what happened to him inside.

Twitter, I need your help. I put one ceramic bowl on top of the other while washing dishes and they got stuck. How do you get the smaller bowl out without breaking both? Why am I so stubborn? I’ve been trying to fix this for 2 days and now I can’t give up.

From the moment of the incident, Nguyen He wanted to make us all participants. one of the practical solutions he tries to achieve. well everything you try so far (no results):

• Use hot soapy water.
• Use hot water in the outer bowl and ice in the inner bowl.
• Use oil around the edges.
• Put them in the microwave.
• Shake them aggressively.
• Use WD-40.
• Air them out with a hair dryer.
• Put them in the freezer and then apply hot or cold water.
• Put them in the freezer and hit them with a rubber mallet.
• Tap a table.
• Use a stick or stick to try to separate them.
• Let them sink under water.
• Put them in the dishwasher.
• Turn them over and hit the outer container with a mallet.

From physicists to chemists or industrial engineers, they began to offer comments and ideas on the subject. Everyone wants to know what the result will be to this complex problem. This Australian scientist, for example, commented: “Have you tried dipping the bowls in a solution of baking soda (hopefully some of it gets between the bowls) and then pouring vinegar over the seams? Maybe the bubbles will separate them mechanically?”

Have you tried dipping the bowls in bicarbonate solution (hopefully some of them get between the bowls) and then pouring vinegar over the joint?

Maybe the bubbles separate them mechanically?

Other suggested the following: “We use latch suction cup How do you work to remove glass display panels from devices? Maybe you could put one in the inner pot, heat the outer pot and pull it up?”

We use locking suction cups like this one at work to remove glass display panels from devices. Maybe you can attach one to the inner chamber and heat the outer chamber and pull it upwards? pic.twitter.com/otOGz7bmAC

Matt Zarella, another user, went beyond: “Receive Scotch tapenot cheap stuff. Do 5 loops. Space them about an inch apart around the inner bowl. Place the outer container in a bowl of water to prevent it from falling or cracking. Glue your fingers to the tape. It twists and turns as you pull it up, and compressed air gets in.”

😂 what a rope…

* not the cheap stuff, get some duct tape. Do 5 loops.
Place them around the inner bowl finger-width apart.
Place the outer bowl in a basin of water to prevent it from falling/cracking.
Glue your fingers to the tape. Twist and rotate as you pull up

But The answer that gets your palm is that of user Chris Rentsch., chemistry and materials expert for originality. Attention:

“If you have another copy of the outer bowl, tap it sharply with your finger or a wooden spoon and measure the spacing inside the bowl. frequency application. Use a windshield suction assembly (sold for phones and gps) to hold the bottom of the stuck inner cup. Hang the link on a string so both bowls are suspended in the air. Stimulate the outer bowl up to its resonant frequency (step one) using a loudspeaker, trumpet, or other tone generator. It could fall right away.”

(1/3) If there is another copy of the outer bowl, tap it hard with your finger or wooden spoon and measure the tone inside the bowl with an application of frequency. pic.twitter.com/NZiCIuABzR

We will have to wait a few more days to find out what is the solution to this problem that keeps multiple people awake at night. It’s not just about decks anymore, it’s a battle against physics and a story of personal victory. or maybe Sophie Rapp is right: “Did you think these bowls have been dying to get together all this time?”
