An example of this is when a metal bar is heated at one end and then the hot end is quickly cooled in water. A brief pulse of heat is often felt at the cooler end of the bar.

This surprising effect was noticed by blacksmiths, hence the name "blacksmith's paradox".

I've noticed it myself when washing the end of a spoon that's been in hot coffee.

Fortunately, the question doesn't ask foran explanation of the effect.
