Thanks for sharing - I picked out these two questions as 
'undecidable' ( at the nit-picking level) and that was 
apparently not an allowable answer.

 Here's why:
1) If the cannon balls are not the same diameter, some variation 
 of the feather and ball drop experiment is possible 
 - relying on air drag.
3) A metallic filament gets less conductive when hotter
   but a CARBON filament gets MORE conductive.
