Smile Puzzle...

Hi Guys,

A ship is docked in the harbour.

Over the side hangs a rope ladder with rungs a foot apart.

The tide rises at a rate of 9 inches per hour.

At the end of six hours, how much of the rope ladder will still remain above water, assuming that 9 feet were above the water when the tide began to rise?

Thanks,
Riju.

Hi,

Sorry Ganapathyg. Here is the answer.

Still 9 feet because the ladder will rise with the ship!

Thanks,
Riju.
