13360
00:29
so so let's go with the first question  then why can't a bicycle stand up by
3
29680
7280
00:36
itself why can't a bicycle stand  up by itself um I am not sure  
4
36960
12400
00:49
well I suppose because you need a  person to ride the bicycle is that
5
49360
6120
00:55
correct no it's not a bicycle can't  stand up by itself because it's too
6
55480
10360
01:05
tired what I can't believe it  I never would have imagined
7
65840
8880
01:14

8
74720

94400
9800
01:44
dries what gets wetter the more it dries um the
11
104200
10120
01:54
face the answer is a towel this seems confusing  at first because when we think of something drying  
12
114320
12520
02:06
we expect it to become dry not wet however  the trick here is to think about the towels  
13
126840
7080
02:13
job a towel is used to dry things such as  your body after a shower or dishes after
14
133920
8920
02:22
washing as the towel absorbs water from  what it's drying it gets wetter and wetter
15
142840
10040
02:32
so yeah I get it but I didn't know that next  please okay get ready what runs but never walks

23
234120
14920

24
249040
9880
04:18
