I will post a daily question from my exams to help newer divers and to encourage more experienced divers to interact gracefully and helpfully with the newer divers.

Reminder - this is a post in the Basic Forum and it is a green zone. Please be nice and on topic.

Thank you for your patience while we try to give people something to discuss other than Covid-19 and/or Politics. I will post the answer covered by the spoiler tag later today.

I may be a bit silly but nothing in the question says that you open the container ...

because it is a quiz question I’ll assume it is the case or the question becomes silly.

:dance:
EDIT: it is specified in the question, I somehow missed it.

It says it is open. It does not have to be opened, it is already open.

You are right, I missed it
 
Henry's--my favourite law, the easiest one with that old bucket of water in the chamber example.
