Gloat maybe. Float-definitely not.

"Gloat"? It takes a couple of seconds to read back what you've just written before posting! But yes, I think everyone's right in saying that it would work eventually.

30 percent salinity (well according to wikipedia) would require a ton of salt.
average volume of a bath tub - 40-60 gallons (let's say 50)
1gallon = 1lb.
so you'd probably need 15lbs of salt (and not necessarily table salt, as ocean salts are a broad mix of different salts of different chemical makeups) to be able to float in your tub.

Yes but you would need a lot of salt.

That depends on if you're in the gloating mood.

Yes. In fact you'd float in your bathtub if you filled it with sugar too. Just keep pouring .....
