[Khamelion]

There's a boat in the harbour with a ladder over the side, the rungs of the ladder are 12 inches apart, the bottom rung of the ladder is touching the sea, the tide is coming in at 3 inches every half hour, after 3 hours how many rungs of the ladder will be covered?

That depends on whether or not you've taken the plug out of the bottom of the boat.....
