Yes. I assume you're asking if that's a good way to keep it from drying out before it's cooked. It's fine. If you then want to refrigerate it, you should place a lid on the bowl after the damp towel is placed over the pasta. If you just want to keep it fresh before it's boiled, try not to let it stand longer than 15 to 20 minutes.

Why placing a damp towel over a fan will increase its ability to cool a room?

Placing a damp towel over a fan increases its ability to cool a room as the moving air from the fan causes the water in the towel to evaporate quickly, creating a cooling effect. This process leads to a decrease in the temperature of the air that is circulated by the fan, providing a more effective cooling mechanism for the room.

Why do muffins have to be eaten the same day they are made?

They don't. Usually mufins are best fresh baked, but there is no reason they can't keep over for a day or two. To reheat and get close to fresh just wrap one or two in a damp paper towel and put them in the microwave for about a minute on high. They tend to dry out a bit as they age. 3 days is about all I would leave them.
