This has a whole bunch of stuff on it I'd never even heard of. I think the coolest one was the "sonoluminescence" problem, personally, hehe, where if you collapse tiny water bubbles with hugely powerful sound waves, the water molecules emit bits of light. And they don't get why. There aren't many macroscopic mysteries like that around anymore, I found that cool.
