The valence electrons should be the correct answer
We could (a) stir faster and (b) warm the mixture.
<em>Stirring faster</em> moves freshly-dissolved sugar away from the solid and allows new water molecules to contact with the surface,
<em>Warming the mixture</em> gives the water molecules more kinetic energy, so their collisions with the surface of the sugar will be more effective in removing the sugar molecules.
No beginning or end I believe
The answer is 172.39950000000002
