Re: [math-fun] Sugar + water paradox:

Why wouldn't that be expected, once the jar is removed from the µwave? The heating has caused more sugar to dissolve than would normally dissolve at room temperature. So once it's taken out, as the temperature declines, less and less sugar can remain in solution (until equilibrium is reached). —Dan Bill Gosper wrote: ----- But for several minutes, at least, the amount of dissolved sugar actually declines. -----
