Rungs, Eskimos, DNA and Sliced bread.

Rory Asked:



bah. there was a typo in my last comment that completely messed up the question. this is why I should not attempt logical communication after 2300 hours. let's try this again...

1. a 15 foot rope ladder hangs over the side of a boat with the bottom rung on the surface of the water. the rungs are 1 foot apart, and the tide goes up at the rate of 6.5 inches per hour. how long will it be until three rungs are covered?

2. eskimos are very good hunters, but they never hunt penguins. why not?

3. during the replication of deoxyribonucleic acid, the nucleotide thymine forms a hydrogen bond with its correspondent base adenine. in the transcription process involving ribonucleic acid, however, thymine is replaced by uracil. why is this?

4. what was the best thing BEFORE sliced bread?

okay. goodnight, genius.

Rory

I will try my best to make this as simple as possible

1. Never because the boat rises with the tide.

2. Eskimos live in the northern hemisphere, The top part. And penguins in the southern
hemisphere, The bottom part.

3. The replacement of thymine for uracil in DNA protects the DNA from attack and maintains the fidelity of DNA replication.

4. Fire, just plane old bread, the knife, individually wrapped cheese slices, I could go on.

I should have been sad when my flashlight batteries died, but I was delighted.
