That the ship is underway with bouancy changing as fuel is consumed and weight decreases. Or that the ship is at anchor? The question doesn't include that data point. Re the man's widow question - that question is nonsensical. If a man has a widow it means he's dead and incapable of marrying anybody. The ship weighs anchor.

Jim Avery Posted June 28, 2020 #307 Share Posted June 28, 2020 In fact I am running as fast as I can to get back to my safe, secure bar seat in the Explorer's Lounge. Made it just before sailing. That's worth a martini or three.....🍸 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A boat has a metal ladder hanging down the side into the water, and its rungs are 1 foot apart. If the tide rises at 1 foot per hour and there are now FOUR rungs showing, when does the tide reach the top of the ladder? Be nice. Don't rush to reply before other have gotten a change to read. While I am at it, could some one please tell me if it is legal for a man to marry his widow's sister? Is the boat also metal and if yes, do they have anodes/impressed current, otherwise the ladder may erode. Also is the boat afloat or aground? Great brain teaser for first thing in the morning.😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that opportunities popped up very often on cargo ships. 🍺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming the ladder is attached to the boat and it is floating, it will remain with the same number, as when the tide comes in the boat, unless its sprung a leak, will go up with the tide.

Isn't FSE when you create an ullage in the beer glass.😀 Sun is above the yardarm, so time for a Rye Porter😁🍺 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the only other person I know who can take a simple brain-teaser and turn it into an advanced lesson on some arcane point of science. Ignore this green thing; it is left over from something I decided not to post and after 4 attempts to edit it out, I have not been able to change it. We are stuck with it.

I do hope that no-one thought that it was us giggling on the sofa though - DW would not approve 😉 sorry it took me so long to reply. Went to the middle of nowhere Wyoming to visit my mother and dropped out of the virtual world 🌎 for awhile. I'm sure no one thought two sophisticated people like us would giggle...........DW should have no worries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
