A ladder hangs over the side of a ship anchored in a port. The bottom rung touches the water. The distance between rungs is 20 cm and the length of the ladder is 180 cm. The tide is rising at the rate of 15 cm each hour.
When will the water reach the seventh rung from the top?

One hour and 20 minutes!

If I understand the situation, the answer is never.

Or at least until it starts raining. :p

Raccoon City’s got it! The tide is rising, which means that since the ship is floating on the water, it will rise along with the tide, and the water will never go above that first rung. :bigsmile:

How do you make the number one disappear?

Well, you did say the ship was anchored, so if the tide continues to rise indefinitely, they will eventually run out of chain, and the water will begin to rise in relation to the ship! J) Yes, I’m just being a sore loser! :_(

Add the letter 'n' to make 'none'?

The Smith family is a very wealthy family that lives in a big, circular home. One morning, Mr. Smith woke up and saw a strawberry jam stain on his new carpet. He figured out that everyone who was there that morning had a jam sandwich. By reading the following excuses, figure out who spilled the jam.
Billy Smith: “I was outside playing basketball.”
The Maid: “I was dusting the corners of the house.”
Chef: “I was starting to make lunch for later.”
Who is lying?

The maid was dusting the corners of the house...

yet the family lives in a big, circular home.

Assuming a circular home doesn't have any corners...

It was the maid in the conservatory with the candlestick!

Haha, bingo!

What is round on both sides but high in the middle?

Ohio.

Boy, you’re on a roll, raccoon city!
