You're right! Since it's a boat, it will always float on the water at the same level!

Revived !
A new riddle:
There are 3 friends sitting at a table in a bar.
They call the waiter for the bill.
The waiter says : 27$
Now every man gives him 10$ so that he has got 30 dollars.
The waiter wents to his chief to give him the money.
The chief says: They were so cool and funny, give them 5$ back.
The waiter thinks that 5$ are hard to share for three, so he takes 2$ for his own pocket and gives every man 1$ back.
So every man has paid 9$ and there are 2$ in the waiters´ pocket.
Three times 9 dollars and 2 dollars are 29 dollars.
Where is the missing dollar from the starting 30 dollars?

ummmmmmm i'm think to the chief cause they all gave 10 dollars for a 27 dollar tab which would give them 3 dollars in change any way but, the chief sends 5 back so that is there change and, the waiter gets his 2 dollar tip and, the chief only has 25 dollars to cover the 27 dollar tab so i'm thinking that the mysterious missing dollar went to the chief..... and, not every one pay 9 dollars cause they got 5 back which leaves 25 dollars to the chief and, 1 dollar per man and, 2$ for the waiter add that together and, u get 30 dollars
that is 25 dollars to chief, 2 dollars to waiter and, 3 dollars the group

The missing dollar is NOT in the chiefs hand!
EVERYONE of the 3 men paid 9 dollar, cause first they paid ten each and then EACH got 1 back. That would make the 27 dollars, plus the 2 dollar tip for the waiter ..... 29 $
Where is the dollar / mistake ??

how about glasses?
about the bar thingie, each payed 25/3 + 3 they got back + 2 the waiter`s "tip"
the "mistake" is that you substract the change from the original amount of money.

The water will never reach the 6th rung.
The tides are 6 hours apart. Assuming the situation takes place at low tide the water will only rise 20cm before the tides change aand the waterlevel begins to lower again.

ok there is no window and, now mirrors and, no glass so let me try to figure this out...... 3 ladys dirty faces and, the lady that quit laughing and, notice she had a dirty face was cause she is the only one who actually has dirt on her face the other two women were just making a dirty face at the 3rd on because what was on her face....... i think

Marelt Ekiran said "Three men have dinner in a restaurant. The waiter comes with the bill and it is $75. The three men decide to pay for the bill together and they each pay $25. The waiter brings the money to the manager, who notices that the calculation was wrong. The dinner did not cost $75, but $70. The manager hands the waiter five one-dollar bills and tells him to give it back to the three men. The waiter for a moment wonders how to divide five bills among three people. Finally, he decides that they had not given him a tip yet. So he gives each of them one dollar back and keeps the two remaining.
The three men have now paid $24 each. $24 x 3 = $72. Then there are the two dollars that the waiter kept, making the total $74. But where did the last dollar of the original $75 go?"
I know its similar to angelitos but these are the numbers that have been in my head. Figure it out and tell me! thanks.
