Solution

The question doesn't provide enough information to determine which can will be at the highest temperature. The color of the cans, which is crucial in determining which can would absorb the most infra red radiation, is not mentioned. Generally, darker colors absorb more heat than lighter colors, so if one of the cans was black or a dark color, it would likely be the hottest. However, without this information, it's impossible to definitively answer the question.
