    A boat has a ladder that has six rungs, each rung is one foot apart. The bottom rung is one foot from the water. The tide rises at 12 inches every 15 minutes. High tide peaks in one hour. When the tide is at it's highest, how many rungs are under water?

    None
    The boat rises with the tide.

    CORRECT!

    Read this sentence:

    FINISHED FILES ARE THE RE-
    SULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC
    STUDY COMBINED WITH
    THE EXPERIENCE OF YEARS.

    Now count the F's in that sentence. Count them ONLY ONCE.
    Do not go back and count them again....can I trust all of you? :)

    I'm no math whiz but I am going to say none...because the boat would rise with the tide.

    You are in a room connected to another room with a door. No light can get in or out. There is a light bulb hanging in the other room, just beyond the door, within arms reach and three light switches in your room. If you can only flip two switches and you can only go into the other room once, how can you know for sure which switch will turn on the bulb?

    6 F's
    But i already knew this one, your mind has hard to read the F from the word OF for some reason i have read something about that

    Also correct - the mind sees the 'F's in the word OF phonetically (as a V) and most people will miss them.

    Turn on switch 1.
    Turn off switch 1 after 10 minutes.
    Turn on switch 2.
    Enter the room.
    If the light is on, light is controlled by switch 2.
    If the light is off and warm, light is controlled by switch 1.
    If the light is off and cool, light is controlled by switch 3.

    Open de door, flip the upper switch, then the second then you know which one turns on light, if none then 3th switch is the right one

    You don't have to go into the other room

    HAHAHA - you beat the riddle - let me rephrase. you cannot open the door until you have made your selections....
