The problem with most of what people above have suggested is that they're big problems with big ideas, so it's actually not very hard to make a few general comments and point out that, unfortunately, nobody really knows.

The one question that was not in that category was about the nutation of a spinning top. However, you have to be so far into the intricacies of rigid bodies to remember that one that it has two disadvantages:
i) He might have a "set piece" explanation for it pre-rehearsed.
ii) He'll know you asked him this just to cause trouble.

My candidate: Ask him, very innocently, "I've heard that hurricanes swirl one way in the northern hemisphere and the other way in the southern hemisphere, and it's because of the Coriolis force. You know, I've never REALLY understood the Coriolis force. Could you explain that to me?"

Almost no one can pull of an explanation of the Coriolis force, ex tempore, without a lot of flopping around, because it involves the concept of coordinate frame transformations. And yet everyone's heard of it. So it's perfectly reasonable both that someone should ask him, and that he should be able to give a clear explanation. But he probably won't!

If it's in a public setting, he will hate you forever, but will not have a valid reason for doing so. Perfect.

i think it relies upon upon what attitude you seem at it. usual in society the adult adult males are stereotyped extra harshly than lots different minority. This makes it extra complicated to get a job, to be taken critically in a job, and to get promotions. (and that i'm speaking exterior of education manual complicated artwork factor) Omar Tyree wrote "for women freedom from kin is a sacrilege. a woman is the inspiration of concerns and Leslie felt all human beings of her roots. that they were protecting her down rather of allowing her to enhance and postpone her branches closer to heaven... closer to sunshine." For the suitable 40 years woman have slowly been schooled that we will not assume or count on adult adult males anymore. females could desire to have jobs and bring up the kin and the only individual you will have the skill to assume is your self. Getting a job for a woman may well be complicated. whilst an business enterprise sees a woman they see a mom, in poor well being days, college conferences, dentist appointments etc. So who has it extra durable? i do no longer think you will have the skill to maintain score on the degrading results of society on human beings. all human beings suffers some sort of stereotyping.

explain the nutation of a spinning top.

(not the HARDEST thing in physics, but I think that will do the trick.)
