- Hiero went to his cousin, Archimedes, who was already renowned for his work in mathematics, mechanics and physics. Thinking how to solve the king’s problem, Archimedes walked to the public baths for his daily bath.
- As he lowered himself into the water, the water in the tub began to spill out. Curious, Archimedes lowered himself slowly into the water, and noticed that the more he sank into the water, the more water spilled out.
