A ship anchored in a port has a ladder which hangs over the side. The length of the ladder is 200cm, the distance between each rung is 20cm and the bottom rung touches the water. The tide rises at a rate of 10cm an hour. When will the water reach the fifth rung?
Answer: Never
Explanation: The ship is floating on the water, meaning it rises and falls with the tide. Since the ladder is attached to the ship, it will also rise as the tide rises. This means the position of the rungs relative to the water will remain the same. Therefore the water will never reach the fifth rung as long as the ladder remains attached to the ship.

Answer: c) A medical necessity to facilitate feeding during tetanus outbreaks.

The removal of the six lower front teeth (commonly known as “Luo dental avulsion") was historically practiced to allow food or herbal medicine to be administered through the gap if a person developed lockjaw (trismus) due to tetanus infection. Over time, it also became a cultural marker of identity but was not originally an initiation rite.
