A Word in Your Eye

One of the late night quiz shows here in Japan posed the interesting question to their panelists:

If you lay a spoon on a block of dry ice, what happens?

1. A visible gas is produced
2. The spoon bends
3. The spoon rings like a bell
4. The spoon jumps into the air

Go ahead. Think about it. What do you think will happen? Imagine a block of dry ice on the table, and you set an ordinary spoon on it. What will happen?
( Make a choice... )
The show ended that segment with warnings that if you are going to play with dry ice, wear gloves! -80 degrees can do bad things to your hands, too.
