Anyone else care to have a go?

The fifth one, because if it went up in rungs, that would imply that the boat isn't floating. The boat is floating, so, it has to be the fifth one.

Quote: "Assuming the sea is perfectly flat, which will be the first rung at least partly out of the water after five hours?"

The top rung is always the first out of the water because it's at the top.
cookie?

I'll give this a try. It is an old riddle I heard a long time ago. I just made it rhyme a little:

A rooster rises like an alarm
as the sun rises in the east.
It is standing on a peak of a barn,
then lays an egg for your morning feast.
Which side of the barn
does the egg get released?



There's something in this room that makes you can't speak well.

I thought it was a trick and was always the top because you count it first. If you'd have said "how many rungs will be underwater?" I might have got it. Good riddle
