A ten foot rope ladder whose rungs are one foot wide is hanging over the side of the boat.

At this time there is only one foot of ladder under the water. It now begins to rain heavily, if it rains at the rate of one foot every two hours, how many hours will it take to cover half of the ladder?

The first person with the correct answer sets another question.

 

[Shytalkz]

It never will, as the boat rises with the water level

 

[Johnmelad502]

It never will, as the boat rises with the water level

Clever boy, over to you...

 

[Trazor]

It never will, as the boat rises with the water level

I'm sorry, but as it rained at 1 foot every 2 hours, the boat got swamped..... and sank.

It was a trick question......

A school has a very strange head teacher. On the first day, he has his students perform an odd opening day ceremony:

There are one thousand lockers and one thousand students in the school. The head teacher asks the first student to go to every locker and open it. Then he has the second student go to every second locker and close it. The third goes to every third locker and, if it is closed, he opens it, and if it is open, he closes it. The fourth student does this to every fourth locker, and so on. After the process is completed with the thousandth student, how many lockers are open?

Can we keep the questions a bit simpler so that Trazor can take part.

A. 31

The very first locker is the only one left open.

However many square numbers there are under 1000, since they have an odd number of factors. 1,4,9,16,25....961.

So the answer is 31, as Johnmelad has stated

Keeping it simple's so anyone can play...

You are a bus driver. At the first stop of the day, eight people get on board. At the second stop, four get off, and eleven get on. At the third stop, two get off, and six get on. At the fourth stop, thirteen get off, and one gets on. At the fifth stop, five get off, and three get on. At the sixth stop, three get off, and two get on.

What color are the bus driver's eyes?

A man can carry enough food for 12 days. A message has to be taken to somewhere that is 9 days away (but no food can be picked up from here for the return journey). 2 men set off to complete the mission and return home safely. How do they do this?
