Violeta's question:
by VLP_Agency
How did these plants get here?
* Why are there so many ants in the rosebush?

* Why is the land at the top of the plot dry and the one at the bottom wet?
* Will this corner always be the same?
* Why are white flowers more fragrant than red ones?
— Very well, Violeta! —said Lihuén— these are very interesting questions. You have taken your first step as a scientist!
—Really? —Violeta replied, a little unsure of what she had done—, but you said that scientists, in addition to asking questions, could answer them, and I don't know how to do it.
—Well, while all the questions you raised are valid, only a few can be answered using the inquiry cycle… —the Rara said.
—Ray! You cheated on me! —Violeta interrupted, feeling disappointed.
—Don't worry... in order to answer a question through the inquiry cycle, it must meet four very important characteristics, Lihuén explained, and if our question doesn't meet those characteristics, we just have to adjust it.
