Time for the new puzzler.
Here it is.
Back in the 1990s, there were some factories in Russia, and maybe in other countries as well, where the people working on the assembly line, are wearing diving suits. The old time diving suits with the big metal masks and the hoses and stuff.
That's what these workers are wearing as they go about their their jobs.
Yet they never go in the water.
The question is, why?
Good luck.
Answer time.
So, these workers wore heavy metal diving suits, with the big helmets and all the tubes.
But they never went in the water.
And the question was, why?
Here is the answer.
These workers were making submarines.
Back in the 1990s, they would make the hulls of submarines out of titanium. And when you weld titanium, you have to do it in an oxygen free environment, because it'll burn up as you weld it. So what they do is they bathe the whole area in nitrogen, which is inert. So these guys are welding in this nitrogen rich environment. And of course, they need to breathe, so they pipe in the air for the workers with the diving suits.
The 90s were crazy!
