This is a perfect example of a person getting a taste of his own medicine. The person being trolled is, how can i put it, an obnoxious smart-a$$ who struts around as if his word is law and knows the secrets of the universe...and that's putting it nicely. We saw this moment of weakness as a perfect opportunity to get payback for all the annoying and usually non-sensical scientific 'explanations' our dear old friend had provided us over the years. The best part is, even our chemistry teacher joins in in the end.
Note that we did eventually provide him with the correct answer and that you dont have to "soak bonds in a bucket of water" to "saturate" them
