Craftling — Water & Materials Waterproof Grotto
Hi!
I'm Craftling.
Welcome to Waterproof Grotto!
Will you help me investigate water & materials?
The Grumblies have mixed up our clues.
Let's check the evidence!
Absorbent materials take in liquid.
Waterproof materials resist water passing through under the conditions for
which they are designed.
Which material suits an absorbent pad?
- A. The cloth
- B. The water-resistant coated sheet
- C. A sealed glass cover
The answer is A: The cloth
Our equal-water test shows cloth soaking up water
and a coated sheet keeping the surface beneath dry.
Cloth suits an absorbent pad;
the sheet suits the tested cover.
That clue helps us make sense of this place.
Porous materials have spaces, but how water behaves depends on the material
and its structure.
Use test records rather than guessing from looks.
Which suits the tested rain cover?
- A. The soaking cloth
- B. An open mesh that lets rain through
- C. The coated sheet
The answer is C: The coated sheet
Our equal-water test shows cloth soaking up water
and a coated sheet keeping the surface beneath dry.

the sheet suits the tested cover.
Hmm...
how does that connect to our first clue?
