PHYSICAL AND MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS AND JOKES

Do you know why the tea leaves drift towards the center of the bottom of a tea glass after you have stired the contents? I mean, they are heavier than the water, right? So they should drift to the bottom border, or not? Well if you want to know the answer, you might be at the right web site, right now !!!

I will put problems and answers of topics in natural sciences and mathematics here. Sometimes I could be wrong with the explanation. Then simply mail me your correct solution!

1. Why are the tea leaves drifting towards the center of the bottom of a tea glass after you have stired the contents?

2. Place a broom horizontally on two fingers - one finger per hand (say the fingers have a distance of about 60-80cm). What happens to the broom if you shift the fingers towards each other?
