MrRalphMan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 1) - You are in a boat. You throw a rope with 3 inch spaced knots over the side of it. The water gets up to the third knot. You are near the coast, but the rope is halfway down to the ocean floor. Each hour, the water rises 3 inches. When will the water reach the top knot if nothing touches the rope except the water and boat? 2) - Four men were in a boat, the boat capsized in WATER but not a single man got wet........how is that possible? Just for fun this time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 1)You throw a rope with 3 inch spaced knots over the side of it. The water gets up to the third knot. You are near the coast, but the rope is halfway down to the ocean floor. So the rope is 9 inches into the water, and is also half way to the ocean floor? I'd call that nearer a bath than an ocean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ah it does not say that the bottom knot is at the end of the rope... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Ah it does not say that the bottom knot is at the end of the rope... Bah. Cant argue with you if you're going to be all intelligent on me :d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
