Description:

The correct answer is:

✅ Denver

Why?

Water boils fastest at higher altitudes due to lower atmospheric pressure:

Denver (~5,280 ft):

Boiling point: ~202°F (94.5°C).

Lower pressure = faster boiling (but food cooks slower!).

New York (~33 ft):

Boiling point: ~212°F (100°C) (standard).

Palm Springs (~476 ft):

Slightly faster than NYC but slower than Denver.

Key Science:

Pressure ↓ → Boiling Point ↓ → Faster Boiling.

Trade-off: Lower boiling temps mean longer cooking times (e.g., pasta in Denver).

Fun Fact: On Mount Everest (~29,000 ft), water boils at ~160°F (71°C)—too cool to brew proper tea! 🏔️☕

Altitude hack: Use a pressure cooker to compensate! 🍲🔥
