There is a boat in the water... on the side of the boat there is a ladder... on the ladder there is 6 rungs.... each rung is exactly 1 foot (12 inches) apart from the next rung.... the last rung is exactly 1 foot from the water.
The tide is rising exactly 6 inches every 45 minutes.... how many rungs will be under water in 4 hours?
First one to get this riddle right gets 10 points.... I´ll post the answer here in 20 minutes

LADDER WILL RISE WITH THE BOAT, THEREFOR THE LAST RUNG WILL ALWAYS BE 1 FOOT ABOVE THE WATER. how come all those who answered before me had the wrong answer, now after I put mine on some (certainly answerer 1) now have the correct answer, aint editing and cheating great.

All of them because the last rung is only 1 foot from the water, is that right?

Is the boat attached to the bottom? Is the ladder fixed to the boat? Is a party of very heavy people about to occupy the boat and make it capsize like they did a while back? There are too many unknown variables here!

well unless your boat has many holes in it iguess it will rise with the water level so the ladder should always have the same amount of rungs in the water at all times

None. The boat rises with the water

none as the boat rises with the water so the last rung will stay 1ft away from the water

none of them, the boat goes up with the water and there isn't any rungs in the water to begin with!

5
unless you mean 1 foot ubove the water in which case there will be none because the boat is floating

None, as the tide rises, so does the boat...it all floats!
