I guessed wrong. That's why I'm not a physicist. My intuition leads me astray all too often, because watching too many cartoons as a child seriously messed up my intuition!

I believe that if he had wrung it out with more force, the water would have been ejected from the washcloth.

Will show in science class tomorrow!

Yeah! In fact there were a few drops ejected early on. I certainly didn’t anticipate what did happen, though. Zero g is full of surprises.

Yep, you’re right. That was my guess. Thought it would be a big mess.

Tell them not to watch cartoons anymore! :-)

I guessed incorrectly as well.
