Ice Diamond Riddle SOLUTION ft. Vsauce's Michael Stevens

The video is part of the Physics Girl riddle series, featuring Michael Stevens from Vsauce. It presents a buoyancy riddle involving an ice cube with a diamond inside. The discussion explores the intuition behind the riddle and explains Archimedes' principle, which helps determine the water level change when the ice cube melts. The video concludes with a bonus puzzle about identifying the hottest stars in the sky.

What is the significance of the density of the diamond in relation to the water level?
