I’m sitting in a boat in a pool. In the boat with me is a cannonball. What happens to the level of the pool if I take the cannonball out of the boat and drop it into the pool? Does the level increase, decrease or stay the same?

Hey Ravi. Maybe social decorum confuse you. How about just tact? I mean refraining from boasting about your solution, which avoids using an equals sign but otherwise uses the same logic fl used before you. Or implying that math confuses me, I assume because I didn't bother to include a solution in my comment (I saw that fl already had). If this grab for attention stems from my appreciating fwaff's puzzle and not one of yours, then I apologize for the oversight. Some of your puzzles are very nice.
