Reteach: meet every requirement

Meet every requirement

100 g, start 10°C, room 22°C, 20 min. Final ≤15°C in EVERY trial; ≤5 tokens; ≤18 mm added thickness. Covered liquid water; cups/lids, mass, starting temperature, duration, exposure and reading procedure match within and across trials. Surroundings stay at the stated room temperature. No ice, phase change, active heating/cooling, direct sunlight or meaningful evaporative cooling. Each trial uses fresh samples. Accuracy is not supplied.

Fictional response: “P wins because all its temperatures are lowest. R also works because its average is below 15°C.”

1. Evaluate both statements. Check temperatures, budget and thickness separately for every row. Which supplied design meets the whole brief?

2. Write or say a bounded recommendation that includes its weakest displayed temperature margin and a useful next test. Explain why numerical margin is not a reliability guarantee.
