Enigma Box

Without science the world would be a dark, unknown place. A place where the unknown world would never be solved. Luckily, that world does not exist thanks to spectacular scientists. But scientists have their way to solve life's mysteries, like the Enigma Box. I applied the skills of observations, inferring, classifying, and making models in order to solve this complex puzzle.
When Mrs. Casey showed us the Enigma Box I noticed to beguiling holes at the top. One was big, and she used it to pour the water. The second hole is small and why you use it or what it does I don't know. There is a filter like tubing at the bottom where the water will pour out. After 470mL. the water finally started to ease out at a steady speed.
I think that there are weights inside of the box. When the right amount of water is put in the box the weights counter act and all the water pours out.
As we finally gave up trying to figure out what the secret was, Mrs. Casey told us what the Enigma Box really was, I must say it made total sense to me after she explained it. In the box there is a rubber tube shaped in a loop. When the water pours in the box, the pressure does not seem to phase. But when the right amount of water is in, it will go over the flow line and flow out. The Enigma Box is finally revealed!
