You are driving your niece to a birthday party, and she is bringing a floating balloon filled with helium. When you make a sharp left turn, you both shift to the right. If we assume the windows are closed,
which way does the balloon shift?

Answer

The balloon sways to the left, unlike you and your niece. This is because:

Inertia causes everything in the car to move to the right (relative to the car) when the car turns left.
The helium-filled balloon is lighter than the air around it, so the air has greater inertia. So the all the air shifts to the right and displaces the balloon to the left.

Last week, the local Primary school was visited by the Government School Inspector who was there to check that teachers were performing well in their respective classes.
He was very impressed with one particular teacher. The Inspector noticed that each time the class teacher asked a question, every child in the class put up their hands enthusiastically to answer it.
More surprisingly, whilst the teacher chose a different child to answer the questions each time, the answers were always correct.
Why would this be?

Answer

The children were instructed to ALL raise their hands whenever a question was asked. It did not matter whether they knew the answer or not.

If they did not know the answer, however, they would raise their LEFT hand.

If they knew the answer, they would raise their RIGHT hand.

The class teacher would choose a different child each time, but always the ones who had their RIGHT hand raised.
