A fishing boat is lying in the harbour. There is a rope ladder hanging over the side with its end touching the water. The rungs of the ladder are 1 metre apart and the tide is rising at 50 centimetres an hour.
At the end of 6 hours, how many of the rungs will be covered?

None, the boat will rise with the tide, pulling the ladder up with it.

The man who invented it doesn't want it. The man who bought it doesn't need it. The man who needs it doesn't know it. What is it?

I could not think of a riddle but I heard this the other day on TV and thought it was kind of funny...
Man1: The casinos raise so much money, maybe we should start one. Man2: Well I'll tell you what if these Indians keep doing so well were going to have to take their land again.

99% of a minute + 1% of a minute = 60 seconds
is that right? it could be 99% hour + 1% hour = 60 minutes too.
