The cooling of a swede-part of an EUSO CSI challenge

• This paper presents preparations, execution and reflection on results for the physics part of a CSI task for the European Union Science Olympiad 2010, taking place at the University of Gothenburg. The participants were required to make a graph of the cooling of a swede (Brassicanapus), as a proxy for the cooling of a murder victim, and to choose a mathematical expression for the cooling curve, as well as assigning an approximate time of death.
