And now for something completely different: This
month’s math puzzle is not a math puzzle. It’s a science
puzzle that was suggested by 14 year old Anita, who submitted
it
to Ask the Experts.

You
are sitting in a rowboat on a pond with a curling stone in the boat.
You throw the curling stone overboard. It sinks to the bottom of
the pond. (A curling stone is a 19kg (42 lb) piece of granite. Click
here to find out more
about curling.)
- Does the boat now float higher in the water, lower or
at the same level?
- Has the water level of the pond risen, fallen or remained
the same?
