When the boat is floating on the water, it contains all the apples. Therefore, the apples have already displaced the water equal to their own volume. Now, it does not matter if they eat two or four dozen of apples, the water level will remain the same.

school but no learning,
trees but no branches,
teeth but no mouths,
Halloween but no candy,
and mirrors but no reflections.

Why is this?
