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?:confused:

None. 6 hours later the tide should be out again

None. The boat should float. The rungs will rise with the boat.
