Your roommate gives you a cylindrical can of peanut brittle, saying that she got it for free as a promotion at the grocery store,and that she doesn’t like it because it sticks to her teeth. Just as you are about to open it, you remember that it is April 1st,and you smell a rat. Worried that a coiled spring-snake might fly out of it when you open it, you decide to try to determine
whether this is a prank or a yummy treat before opening it. You are unable to get useful information by shaking it, as nothing seems to move inside, but it occurs to you that a spring-snake is “hollow,” while peanut brittle would fill in the entire volume of the cylinder. Describe a strategy for determining the true intentions of your roommate
