It took me maybe five seconds to figure it out. Do I get a prize?

Now do this same puzzle sitting on an iceberg in the pond.

Half of it melts...

[Elsie]

No; it lowers.

This is a two part poser.

While in he boat; the weight will displace a volume of water equal to it’s weight.

When tossed overboard, it will displace a volume of water equal to it’s volume.

So, when the weight is removed from boat, the boat will rise in the water, and the water level will go down.

When the weight then enters the water, it will go up; but not enough to return to original level when weight was in boat.

Thus, the water goes down.

(We really don’t need a weight. Just consider that the boat sank; instead.)

[Elsie]

Probably because you where there BEFORE August 21, 1959.

[Elsie]

That’s half of it.

[Elsie]

It was doing the Hokey-Pokey?

[Elsie]

Then has to do with time
Than has to do with a comparison

Peacocks come from eggs,
but peacocks do not LAY eggs;
so where do peacock eggs come from??

[Elsie]

If you were paying attention; you’d have noticed WHY the oceans are (Scary alert!!) rising.

So many more boats are floating in the water!

[VastRWCon]

Easy: Oahu is the name of the street you lived ON.

[null and void]

Excellent answer, wrong, but excellent.

[Elsie]

You are welcome.

No one can notice if we use the wrong word while talking; since they sound nearly alike. Our brains can figure out what was meant.

Also; none can ever tell if we misspell a word while talking ;^)
