Question 1:- Why is a boxing ring square?

I think because when boxing was an unofficial sport, spectators would form a ring around the fighters.

But they wouldn't have formed a square ring though it would have been a load of people pushing and shoving probably forming a round ring circling the fighters

A boxing ring was originally circular, the reason the boxing ring was circular was so the devil couldn't hide in the corners, hence why I wasn't square, something like that anyway!.

Only if they can prove welfare cheats did it so they could take the wood home and burn it to avoid paying heating bills.

Presuming you mean blowing as in like a silent whistle- when you huff a volume of air warmed by your lungs comes out and gently flows over your hand whose clever nerve endings detect the warmth. In the blowing scenario you exhale the same volume of air through a smaller aperture which means it must come out far faster. This results in a cooling effect as the fast moving air forces evaporation of the tiny amount of moisture present on your skin.
You can try blowing with a huff or a 'whistle' and widening/narrowing your mouth until you find the tipping point where these effects exactly cancel each other.

Mainly due to the venturi effect.
