Water level (Posted on 2003-03-10) Difficulty: 2 of 5
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?

The only factor that matters in this problem is volume.
