Shortly after completing my second class in thermo during undergrad, this topic came up between with a friend. The particular situation was wether to put the creamer in the coffee and let it cool or wait until it cooled and then put the creamer in. The wait time being the same, which would produce the hottest coffee.
I got a little hyper focused and spent well into the night scrawling equations on a huge whiteboard and I don’t think I ever felt that I proved it one way or the other.
I remember being pretty defeated because I thought I had all the knowledge I needed to solve the problem. I guess it wasn’t so simple after all :)
