Do Black Cars get Hotter than White Cars?

Until finish converting this article from the other site, the short answer is no. Theres a bunch of tests I did one Saturday but the simple explaination is that black cars get hot faster.

How much money is an Olympic gold medal worth?

Weighing in at 412 grams -- or roughly the weight of a can of green beans -- the gold medal is made up of only 1.34%, or about 6 grams of gold.
