oh shoot,i asked the first one wrong.yeah the answer would be 5.i should have made the hole an odd number in depth,cuz his last jump would be 3 feet,enough to get him out without sliding back 1.

i think those things could be assumed or just werent relevant but yeah 42,youre right.the boat rises with the tide,and so does the ladder so the answer is never.

You don't say how close to the water the bottom of the ladder is or how many rungs it has or whether,as with most ladders, it is weighted at the bottom or if the ship is anchored. But it doesn't really matter, as this is a trick answer: as the tide comes in, the ship will raise with the tide, as will the ladder.
