You are sitting in a boat floating in a swimming pool. At the bottom of your boat is a heavy weight. You pick up the weight and drop it into water and it immediately sinks to the bottom of the pool. What happens to the water level in the pool?

Everybody missed it!
When the rock is inside of the boat, its weight is pulling the boat down causing an equivalent weight of water to be displaced. If the rock weighs 5 kilogram then it displaces 5 liters of water. When you drop the rock into the pool and it sinks to the bottom, it is now displacing only its volume of water. If the rock is 1 liter in volume, then when it is out of the boat, it will only displace 1 liter of water.
Since it sinks then we know that it weighs more than the volume of water it displaces -- from the definition of buoyancy. This means that the boat without the rock will displace less water than is displaced by the rock at the bottom of the pool, and the water level in the pool will go down.

It's exactly the same level. Whatever is displaced by you, the boat and the weight remains the same whether you are altogether in the same boat or not.

Does not change. The water displacement was already there from the boat.

It rips the bottom of your pool and your dad yells at you and your all like " Whatever Dad I'm not perfect deal with it" and then your Mom just ignores you and drinks er fifth Martini of the day and smiles at the thought of the Pool boy coming over. Or nothing
