We set out to explore the effects of throwing a single stone into a puddle. Our research team carefully measured the ripple effects and observed the resulting splash patterns.

Our findings indicate that the stone's impact causes a significant disturbance, resulting in a 37.5% increase in puddle agitation.

Methodology

We threw 500 stones into 5 different puddles, each with varying depths and widths.

Results

Our results are as follows:

Stone 1-10: 37.5% increase in agitation, 12.5% increase in splash radius.

Stone 11-20: 40% increase in agitation, 15% increase in splash radius.

Stone 21-30: 42.5% increase in agitation, 17.5% increase in splash radius.

Conclusion

Throwing a stone into a puddle has a significant impact on the water's state.

Further research is recommended.
