APRIL FOOLS DAY
As the world celebrates All Fools Day on April 1,
Here is a list of head scratchers that will
provide some moments of sheer fun!
1. A 10 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. The rungs are one foot apart, and the tide goes up at the rate of 6 inches per hour. How long will
it be until three rungs are covered?
Never. The boat rises as the tide goes up.

= 70.
