I'm calling "Ripley's Believe It or Not" if a rooster laid an egg... good catch, Evo...

You have a ship with a rope ladder hanging over the side each rung is a foot apart and the ladder is 6 feet. At low tide the ladder is 1 rung or 1 foot beneath the surface of the water. If the tide rises at a rate of 6 inches a hour. How long before the next rung is below the surface?

[King of Thieves]

That all depends on if the ship is sea worthy or not.

[AngelicaSynn]

He's right... a seaworthy vessel will 'rise' with the tide, so the level relative to the water's surface remains the same... a leaking vessel will be lower in the water, how much depends on the severity of the leak...

Not sure if riddle but Bilbo did worse.....

 

During a tire change you lose the lug nuts to wheel of car . It is a 4 lug nut rim. What do you do?

[King of Thieves]

Find the lug nuts.

[BruceARee]

if you can't find the lugs, take one lug from each wheel....3 lugs per wheel will hold till you can buy replacements

Since no one has left a riddle in awhile, I'll start it up again. A man lights a cigarette. He takes two puffs and ashes it. It's still the same length as before he lit it. How is this possible?

[xMOx]

That´s a good one....

...I have no idea, but I´m curious about the answer.

[grub]

Lit it in the center, not the end.

[King of Thieves]

Correct.

[AngelicaSynn]

I guess it's your turn to favor us then, Grub...

There is a tree

the tree has twelve branches

each branch has four nests

each nest has seven birds

what is it?

[King of Thieves]

A pear tree?

[Antoniella]

wrong

[grub]

A calender

 

12 branches=months

 4 branches=weeks

 7 birds=days of the week

 

 

I was stuck on an analog time piece for some reason.

[Antoniella]

correct, it's a year

[grub]

I went with calender in stead of year due to it being a tree and trees' make paper for calendar to be printed on.

[Antoniella]

ah i see your reasoning, well it's your turn

[grub]

not good at this.. hmmm
