Mikey's firin' on all cylinders tonight! 
I edited my previous post about the "hen-and-a-half", as the answer to that question popped into my head a few minutes after I posted it.
Here's another one:
An observant person noted a rope ladder dangling from a ship in the harbour, with its bottom six rungs underwater. Also, he saw that each rung was four inches wide and that the rungs were ten inches apart. If the tide rose at the rate of five inches per hour, how many rungs would be submerged in three hours?
