Note [11]

A different problem at the Correspondence Round [Kvant 1988]: “Soap bubble. What determines the “lifetime” of a soap bubble? Why does it pop and how does it happen?” In [Jordens 1989], the problem reads: “Soap bubbles. What determines the “lifetime” of a soap bubble? Why does it burst and how does that happen?”
