Last question (Scarecrow) one was funny. Also, how did everyone test for carbon dioxide rate?

maybe use syringe and and calculate the volume by the distance moved of coloured liquid?

Oh yeah diarrhoea one was odd. I couldn’t think of much sk just said water loves by osmosis from blood into intestine due to higher conc of sugar in intestine. Therefore faeces more dilute.

I thought of that then realised it would just be testing gas rate in general and not specifically CO2. Not sure tho
