Ladder
« on: July 27, 2016, 03:27:11 PM »
The rungs of a 10 foot ladder attached to a ship are 1 foot apart. If the water is rising at the rate of one foot an hour, how long will it take until the water covers over the ladder?

We'll call that a winner!  The water will never cover the ladder because as the water rises the ship rises.  Little to easy maybe....lol.

I was going to ask if we were talking about the Titanic?
Did I do that?
