What is that experiment with the two bowls with hot and warm water?

There is one bowl of hot water and one bowl of cold water and one bowl of warm water. You place one hand in the hot and one hand in the cold for approx. 30 seconds and then place your hands in the warm water and that hand that was in the hot water will feel cold and the hand that was in the cold water will feel hot. This is because the nerves have gotten used to the temperature and therefore have to adjust again to return to normal. Thanks! That helps a lot! I knew I had done it before but I couldn't remember what it was!
