Thursday "Brain Booster"

Rising Tide....

The rope ladder of a boat hangs over the side of the boat and just reaches the water.
Its rungs are 8 inches apart. How many rungs will be under the water when the tide rises 4 feet?

The same number that was underwater before the tide rose. The boat will rise with the tide. Right?

Ditto what debadee said. The rungs will rise with the boat - hopefully!

Survey says; When the tide rises 4 feet, the boat and its ladder will also rise. So no rungs will be under the water.
Shoosh...we are all so smart!!
