1.
See the lesson
- Problem on animals at a farm
in this site and learn from there on how to solve such problems.

2.
The location is the North Pole. The creature is a white bear. The color is white.

3.
A gangplank fixed to the side of a boat moves up and down together with the ship as the water level rises up (or sinks down).

So the number of rungs above the water level remains constant equal to 17.

It is well known joke problem.
