Try this one....

Your in a boat travleing 10 knots... The tide and wind is going agiesnt you at 3 knots

How fast will you be going?

 
I'm going to say the obvious and say 7 Knots

But the answer is most likely something like your boat is sideways or something stupid like your not actually in water! :P

 
10 knots is correct. He already told you how fast you're going :lol:

Although if your going to be picky you haven't actually specified if the speed you've given is inclusive of all physical factors or not.

 
Oh Dev caught me out.... :)

However Matt had the correct theroy :) If you indicated engine speed is 10 knots then you would be traveling at 7 knots due tot he resistance of the tide and wind :)

 
lol i thought that, but matt wrote it so i didn't bother

 
try this one

You switch the letters around. New door is an anagram of 'one word'.
