LAD THERE IS ANY RUNG TO CLIMB?
At low tide there are 14 rungs above water on the ship's side ladder. The rungs are 15 cm apart from each-other.
Toward high tide the water rises 8 cm each 6 minutes.
After 2 hours and 25 five minutes, how many rungs will still be above water?
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Insufficient data!
Which way is the tide going?
Slogans aren't solutions.

Sorry... The same way the wind is blowing...

What floats on water will sink in gin. 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

As far as the ship's integrity is still ok, then all 14 rungs should remain dry
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Um, the name's a bit of a giveaway, too.
And the fact that your working week is different.

Good point, especially given the confusion caused by Peter Goldsmith[^]
When we stole the name from the Hebraic world, we didn't dream that you'd keep using it.
Maybe we should exchange it with the Russians for Piotr and 30 bucks. The shame that it's been stolen twice is bound to have a bigger impact, when Yentl and Ahuva are choosing names for their sons.

The name Peter as hebrew name is very-very rare - it comes from the roots of PTR, which has several meanings, such as exemption, first born, passed away (this one I know in English too - 'petered out')... As name it seems to connected to the 'first-born' variant...
However there is a Peter that comes from the christian world, and based on the Latin petra, Greek βράχος and no connections to the Hebrew meanings...

Or it could be related to "phallus".
|
|
|
|

Dunno.
In the list of people I'd relate "phallus" to, there aren't any Peters.

It's the medical term, so you obviously haven't been indoctorinated.

I knew one - my late cousin by marriage.
