Riddle No. 9
Hi everybody!
Congratulations to Anand and Naomi who both got it right! The answer was that you put your lock on the package and send it. Then your friend puts their own lock on the package ans sends it back. After that, you remove your lock and send the package back to your friend and then they can remove their lock and open the package! Her coomes the next riddle!
Carol is travelling by ship from south of the equator to the north.
She has a nice little second class cabin which has a bathroom, but no window.
Carol has neither compass nor other instruments.
Yet, without leaving her room or talking with anyone, Carol knew exactly when the ship crossed the equator.
How did she know? Hope it’s not too hard or not too easy!
Good luck!
Hi,
I think that it either it geats colder or that you keep going straight so you will always be crossing the equator because you are going form the bottom of it to the top. Also I think that it might get hotter.
Toooooooooooooodles

Hi Natnat,
We found out the answer and we think it isWhen she thought she was nearing the equator, Carol filled the sink and allowed the water to drain away down the plughole..
When the water reversed direction when going down the drain, she knew the ship had crossed the equator.
Hi everyone!
Woo hoo! Kesaia and Lilly have got it right! It was the right answer.
When Carol thought she was near the equator, she filled the sink in her cabin and allowed the water to drain away. When she had crossed the equator, the water reversed direction.
Thanks to everybody who tried and had a go!
