Amaze your friends by transforming a banana into a hammer!

Pretty good, eh?
But as you might have guessed, there's a secret to pulling this one off.

Try hitting a nail with an ordinary banana and you'll find that the nail doesn't move and your banana won't last very long!
75% of a banana is liquid water, which means it's not very sturdy.
So what's the secret? Well, if you freeze the banana, the water inside turns into a solid, making it much firmer.
So the trick is to freeze your banana overnight, making it strong enough to hammer in a nail.

Eureka!
