Hello Answer Guy
I was wondering if it is possible to cool a small amount of water for drinking purpose using a small cilinder of liquid fill nitrogen (by letting the water around the cilinder) is this possible and how long will the water remain cool?
Thanks
Sam

"Okopniki" - is that plural, like it would be in Russian? I like the idea, mind you - although I'd have to learn to wear those cheap pirate earrings [1] and yell "Orr, matey!"
