Ahhh, a riddle - no, offhand I can't guess what you are referring to.

[brainlessone]

well I am not sure if this is what you mean, but it is a biggy in biology:

anomolous water density with temperature. if ice did not float we would all be dead

I'm not sure what exception you are referring to, but I would guess it has to do with light, since light gets weirder and weirder the more you look at it. So either it has to do with light's properties changing in different conditions (acting like a wave sometimes and like ??? (yikes, my poor memory is blocking on a simple word, help, Alzeimer's runs in my family!), or it has to do with the speed of light which, if I recall correctly, speeds up no matter which side of 186,000m/sec it is on.

Does that truly apply as opposed to the fundamental laws of physics?The structure of ice and water are not the same,water is not a mineral,ice is.
