My Ice Cube Keeper

To make my ice cube keeper, I used a cup, an ice pack, a sock, and my ice cube.  I put the ice in the sock, and I rolled the sock up and put it in the cup.  I put the ice cube next to the ice.  I predicted that my ice cube would last 180 minutes.

Time	Size in mm
10:00	45mm
11:00	?mm
12:00	?mm
1:00	?mm
2:00	?mm
3:00	2mm

At 3:00 there was still a tiny bit of ice cube left, so my ice cube keeper lasted over 300 minutes.  If I had the chance to do the experiment again, I would do almost the same thing but instead of a sock I would use some solid tape that would keep heat out even more.
