However, before Hans left, a man shouted, “I’d like to ask you a question.” He then asked a question so difficult that Hans had no idea what he was talking about.

Einstein turned pale. “Oh no!” he thought. “Now we’re in trouble.” But Hans just laughed and said, “That’s such an easy question that even my driver can answer it. Hans, please …”

Einstein stood up and answered the question perfectly.
They left the university, with Einstein driving. A little later, Hans offered to drive. “No,” laughed Einstein. “It’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you, Hans.”

Archimedes and the golden crown
Look at the title and guess the story between the Archimedes and the crown.
What were in the pots
Can you guess why the crown and gold were in the pots
Skim the passage and think about what did the King ask Archimedes to do
Did he make it
One day in ancient Greece, King Hiero asked a crown maker to make him a golden crown. At first, he was very happy with it.
“It‘s a nice crown, isn’t it ” he asked his men. Later, however, he began to doubt that it was a real golden crown. “Is it made completely of gold ” he wondered. He sent it to Archimedes and asked him to find out the truth.
“This problem seems difficult to solve. What should I do ” thought Archimedes.
Archimedes was still thinking about this problem as he filled his bath with water. When he got into the bath, some water ran over.
"That's it!" shouted Archimedes. "I know how to solve the king‘s problem!"
Archimedes went straight to the palace to see the king. First, he weighed the crown and asked the king for some gold of the same weight.
Next, he put two pots into two big bowls and filled both pots with water. He put the gold into one pot, and some water ran into the bowl. Then he put the crown into the other pot. This time, even more water ran into the bowl.
“Look at this,” said Archimedes to King Hiero. “A crown made completely of gold displaces less water than a crown made of gold and another metal. This crown displaced more water than gold of the same weight, so I‘m certain that it’s not completely made of gold.”
"The crown maker tricked me, didn't he What a bad man he is!" shouted King Hiero. He then sent the crown maker to prison.
The King asked Archimedes to find out if the crown was completely made of gold.. He succeeded.
Read the passage again and divide it into three parts.
