A ladder hangs over the side of a ship anchored in a port. The bottom rung touches the water. The distance between rungs is one foot and the length of the ladder is six feet. The tide is rising at the rate of half a foot each hour. When will the water reach the second rung from the top?
{Answer} The ship is rising with the tide, so the water will always reach only the first rung.  |

Kudos to Joey this time! To LadyPorthos and Bestem♥r: You have solved many, but it's too much asking to get them all right, so you can be proud!  |
