Mind Relaxer


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?

(see tomorrow's Mind Relaxer for the answer)

Oh yea and for yesterday's Mind Relaxer, the answer is no color. A bungalow is a one story building.
