The second bucket should be an ice block so no way for the ball to reach the bottom of the bucket.....:)

If I were in Florida and dropped a baseball into a bucket of water which was at a temperature of 45 degrees F and dropped another identical baseball into a identical bucket of water at a temperature of 30 degrees F, which baseball would hit the bottom of the bucket first?

I think that you did an incorrect calculation somewhere.

I think that you are taking 9^9, which gives you 387420489 and then doing 9^387420489 rather than 387420489^9.

On the way to the room the bellboy reasons that $5 would be difficult to share among three people so he pockets $2 and gives $1 to each person. Now each person paid $10 and got back $1. So they paid $9 each, totalling $27. The bellboy has $2, totalling $29. Where is the missing $1?
This is easy. The guests are staying in SOHO, NYC! A daily happenning! Try again, Sox fan!

The end of the question doesn't make sense. There is no missing dollars- you should be going from $27 to the $25 that they should have paid (the bellboy has the other $2) rather than up to $30.

That's the tricky part, because most people are trying to add to get back to the $30.

It looks like everyone gave up. The answer to the final question is TON. Thanks for playing.

That doesn't look like a brain teaser, it looks more like geometry.
