A blacksmith wishes to cool his hot piece of steel as rapidly as possible. He has a bucket of ice-water and a bucket of oil (at room temperature). Which bucket should he dump his steel into?

Im so glad that someone agrees with me on this one. I can say all day that the actual material that has been used for this purpose for the last (well, many) years has been water and that there would've had to be a good reason for it, not to mention all the other pros I came up with.
Thank you np_rt
