> [@My Music Video!!!](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/my-music-video/11156/9): > > 1 > While exploring the wilds of Canada, Wild Man Dave was captured by hostile wood fairies. Brad, the powerful chief of the fairies told him he could make one final statement which would determine how he would die. If the statement he made was false, he would be boiled in water. If the statement were true, he would be fried in oil. Wild Man Dave found neither of this options too his liking, so he made a statement that got him out of this seemingly impossible situation. What is the one statement he could have made? **ANSWER** This one pwned you all apparently. Wild Man Dave said: “You will boil me in water.” The fairies were faced with a dilemma. If they boil him in water, that would make his statement true, which means he should have been fried in oil. They can only fry him in oil if he makes a true statement, but if they do, it would make his final statement false. The fairies had no way our of their situation so they were forced to set Wild Man Dave free. ---

4 You are on a ship, over the side hangs a rope ladder with half meter rungs. The tide rises a half meter per hour. At the end of five hours, how much of the ladder will remain above the water assuming that nine rungs were above the water when the tide began to rise? ---

Ships float, the buoyancy of the ship’s hull would not be changed based on tides and the water level would be the same in reference to the ship, so it would be the same amount of rungs, so nine. ---

i got that rungs one. its like that one where a frog is crawling up a well that is 30 ft. high. The frog starts at the bottom but he can climb 3 ft per minute. however, over that same minute he must take a couple breaks and over those breaks he slides down 2 ft. how many minutes will it take him to get out of the well? ---
