There is a boat in the sea. When water rises at 3 inches a minute in the boat, it takes 5 minutes for the bottom rung to submerge. There are 22 rungs. If the boat is out in the sea when the tide is rising at 5 inches a minute, how long will it be before they're submerged.

They never will be- the boat rises with the tide. That's an old one.
