Object permanence. Meaning they think it is gone for good when it is out of their sight.
The test organism ferments sucrose best under reduced oxygen conditions.
The sample was incubated less than 24 hours, which allowed for only limited fermentation.
The media was contaminated.
The organism is an obligate aerobe and therefore can only grow inside the Durham tube.
The media was prepared wrong.
The organism is limited in its ability to ferment sucrose. Since diffusion is restricted within the Durham tube and it contains only a small volume of media, it turned yellow first.
The test organism did not ferment sucrose.

They met at the Mount Washington Hotel I believe.
1 mol KMnO₄ contains 4 mol O, which has a molar mass of about 15.999 g/mol. Then the mass of O in the sample is
(4 mol) (15.999 g/mol) ≈ 63.996 g
