The following is supposedly an actual question given on a University of
>Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound"
>that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of
>course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

>Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs
>heat)?
>
>Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas
>cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.
>
>One student, however, wrote the following:
>
>First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need
>to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which
>they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to
>Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.
>
>As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different
>Religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that
>if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell. Since there
>is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more
>than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell.
>
>With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in
>Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the
>volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature
>and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand
>proportionately as souls are added.
>
>This gives two possibilities:

>1. If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter
>Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell
>breaks loose.

>2. If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in
>Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.
