'trick' questions

A fishing boat is lying in the harbour. There is a rope ladder hanging over the side with its end touching the water. The rungs of the ladder are 1 metre apart and the tide is rising at 50 centimetres an hour.

At the end of 6 hours, how many of the rungs will be covered?

The rope ladder ascends and descends with the boat, thus still none.

P.S. 1 metre apart? Those are some widely-spaced rungs.

OK, in all seriousness...


The difference between an orange is 5.3 -- I read it on the Internet, it must be true.

One has three legs, the second has a bathtub full of spaghetti,
and the third was lying in a pool of its own urine.

None.as the sea rises with the tide so does the boat.The last one still touch water

The difference between an' orange?
The first is a preposition; the second is a fruit.

Their is one guy catching fish in a lake. While catching fish their are flamingos flying over the lake. The flamingo flying in front screams to the guy catching fish - All of us, plus all of us, plus the half of us, plus a quarter of us, plus you cathing the fish is 100.
How many flamingos flew over the lake???😕
