Keep the Heat B/Thermodynamics C

Are we allowed to use store-bought clay in our device? Or does it have to be organic?

I don't think clay is allowed at all, I think it may have already been discussed in this thread
Edit: It has, and an official FAQ has been posted to address it(http://soinc.org/node/857)

I have a device that loses 29.2 degrees Celsius of heat over 30 minutes, at a room temperature of 20 degrees Celsius, with 100 mL of water in the beaker, with a starting temperature of 90 degrees. Is this good or bad?

FYI, we posted some new FAQs today that might be of interest: http://soinc.org/node/838

Just for clarification, do we make the prediction once our device has cooled, or during the 5 min set up period?

4.a.vi appears to suggest that we have all the way up until the actual final measurement itself.

Rule 2.a clearly addresses this question.
