Too easy. I got a better one:

You’re on a boat floating in a pond. A lead weight is in the bottom of the boat. You throw it overboard.

Does the water level of the pond (at the shore) rise, fall, or stay the same?

No change, unless you hit the drain plug and drained the swamp.

The THEORETICAL answer is NO CHANGE.

The TRUTH or REALITY is that the water level (at the shore) will go UP and DOWN repeatedly until the waves subside, then it will stabilize at the SAME level.

“Does the water level of the pond (at the shore) rise, fall, or stay the same?”

It rises and falls at the shore with the waves from dropping the weight until gravity levels it out. Then it goes back to the same. Ying/Yang. So it does all three, just not at the same time.

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

Half of it melts...
