Riddle Me This?

Question

1. On a fine sunny day a ship was in the harbor. All of a sudden the ship began to sink. There was no storm and nothing wrong with the ship yet it sank right in front of the spectators eyes.

What caused the ship to sink?

2. At the beach. A bell rings, a woman dies. What happened?

3. There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground. How come?

4. What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 numbers - just 2 numbers, no other mathematical symbols?

5. The rungs of a 10 foot ladder attached to a ship are 1 foot apart. If the water is rising at the rate of one foot an hour how long will it take until the water covers over the ladder?

3. There are a few trees in a garden. On one of them, a pear tree, there are pears (quite logical). But after a strong wind blew, there were neither pears on the tree nor on the ground. How come?

The pears weren't in the tree to start with. you said there are pears, not there are pears on the tree.

4. What is the largest possible number you can write using only 2 numbers - just 2 numbers, no other mathematical symbols?

387420489 can be written as 9 to the power of 9

or

none, you'd need to use a pen.

5. The rungs of a 10 foot ladder attached to a ship are 1 foot apart. If the water is rising at the rate of one foot an hour how long will it take until the water covers over the ladder?

Answer 11

1.  The submarine took a dive.

2.  The bell rang because it meant it was too deep to swim...she's deaf...she drowns.

3. There were only 2 pears in the tree. After the strong wind blew, one tree fell to the ground so that leaves one pear on the tree. So technically, there are neither pears on the tree nor on the ground

4.  9 to the 9th power

5.  It won't because the ship will rise when the water rises.
