Question

I have always wondered if the saying it was hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk could 20 points be true. Please describe how you would determine if this could really happen. State any assumptions you would make. State any additional information that you would need and what you would do with the additional information

Answer 1

Answer:

This is one of the hottest summers America has ever seen and Jeremiah Warren is taking advantage of the heat wave and doing a little cooking…in his car!

It was about 98 or 99 degrees in Texas, so Jeremiah thought he’d head outside to see if it was hot enough to actually cook food.  He buttered up a frying pan on his dashboard and filled it with an egg, cookie dough, a hot dog and bacon (mmm…bacon!).  He set up another frying pan on the sidewalk and a few hours later he came back for a mid-day snack.
