I believe there's a video on youtube with this, they used a whistle to signal when to stop and change teams. IIRC it was 2 minutes of exposure, followed by hour of cool off time or something like that.
But everytime I hear this story, I got to wonder who would pick up an object generating heat and not question why it's still hot hours later?

- tgsovlerkhgsel 6y ago"Wondering why it's hot" doesn't necessarily imply "worrying whether whatever makes it hot could be dangerous". If you didn't know that radioactivity can cause heat, and you found a magic hot rock, do you think you'd go "I don't understand this, must be dangerous" or "I have now clue how this thing works but it's really useful, I'm gonna keep that thing"?
