Engulfed TireTrick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
There is a tire lying on a completely level ground. The tire is not attached to a wheel. It is raining at two inches per minute. If it will take three days of rain to make the water level with the tire, how long will it take for the water to engulf the tire, assuming the tire is five inches tall?
AnswerIt would never happen. The tire is made from vulcanized rubber, which floats. It could rain for years and the tire would still be floating.
