Water level would remain the same, the displacement created by the hull of the boat would decrease to the same volume as the diplacement created by volume of the rock.

Here's a good brainteaser

You're standing in a small boat on a small pond and also in the boat is a large heavy rock. You pick the rock up and chuck it in the water and it quickly sinks to the bottom.

Does the water level on the pond rise, fall or stay the same?

St John's Wood?

[TheFaQQer]

St John's Wood?

Yep.

Also, it is the only station with no letters from the word "blackberry" or "paperclip" or "algebra".

Oxford Circus is the only station with no letters from the word "wavelength".

Russel Square is the only station with no letters from the word "photocopying".

etc.

I don't know how famous this is. I heard it at Uni in the days before t'Net, and it took me a couple of weeks (not continuous!) scouring the A-Z...

What is the only London underground station that does not contain any of the letters from the word 'mackerel' in its name?!

If this is solved within 2 weeks I assume someone has cheated!!
