If a boat is in a body of water with the ladder down (2 rungs under water). The tide is coming in and raising the water level 12" every 2 hours. The rungs on the ladder are 12" apart. If the boat is in the water with the tide rising for 3 hours, how many rungs will be under water when the 3 hours are up?

The answer depends on whether or not the ladder is attached to a Bayliner. :D

That isnt fair. If you knew it, you must have heard it before. Took me 40 min one morning and finally someone told me the answer!!!
To answer that properly is the boat floating or not?

No Hyper, had not heard before.
M.O.P., I was assuming the boat was floating.

Perhaps, someone could leave the plug out of the Bayliner.

The ladder implies that someone would actually want to board the Bayliner. :D
