There are 26 sheeps and 10 goats on a ship. How old is the captain and how far is the nearest landmass?

The answer of the captain's age depends on the age of whom the question is directed to. Ergo, in this case for my answer is my own age. So, it's 23. Meanwhile the landmass.. I have no idea. Not sure what that symbolizes as. But the basic idea for the answer in my opinion for this question is that we're our own answer since there's not enough data to actually find the answers.

My answer is 21 years old which is my age because I'm reading this question right now. The nearest landmass is on my desktop.

there are no relationship between the age of captain with the sheep's and goats as we don't know who the captain is and the landmass cannot be determine because we don't know where the ship located

this question not gives enough details in order to calculate or assume

the captain's age and the landmass . in conclusion, this question is not relevant

to be answer .

Probably around 30 years old, i couldn't find any factors to relate quantity of sheep and

lamb with the age of captain. the ship were at the port because there's no statement

mentioned that the ship have sail

the age of the captain cannot be calculated as we dont know who is the captain of the ship. for the landmass, we cannot determine the nearest landmass as the magnitude of the ship was not given. this answer was based on my truth opinion.

2013-10-08 09:35:05 UTC

seriously i don't know the answer. i cant see what is the relationship between the animal and the captain, but i think the captain age is 26 and the nearest landmass is 10 miles/ m /km..

This question doesn't have any relation between entities: goat, sheep, Captain's age and landmass. Mostly people will simply take the numbers and make a additions from that, to answer a Captain's age which is 10+26=36. The given answers are not logic, since the question itself doesn't have sufficient information, which people will thought that this question is such a question just to test them.

Ruzianafiza mohd zin

2013-10-08 09:37:35 UTC

Rhe old of the captain is 36 since the number of sheep is 26 and goats is 10.the nearest landmass is 360 km2.

wahida

2013-10-08 09:40:55 UTC

i do not undestand the question at all. but since this subject teaches us about the way people think about a certain issue then my answer would be the age of the captain is at the range of 30-50. this is because i think a captain that can handle 26 sheeps and 10 goats plus the ship's crew must have a lot of experience in handling a ship. for the nearest landmass i think that it depends on where is the ship. if the is at the ship port then the nearest landmass is at the port. but if the ship is at sea then the nearest landmass should be the first land that can be seen through the captain's telescope

2013-10-08 09:46:34 UTC

sir, i dont think this question is relate with it's answer at all or maybe the answer is not logic.

The captain is maybe someone that is that expert in sailing so maybe he is older around 40-50. i dont know where the ship is right now

but lets hope the ship is not titanic ship or life of pie ship. Selamat Hari Raya Haji sir :)

Mohamad Anuar

2013-10-08 09:46:52 UTC

As far as i concern, there is no specific answer for this question as the question given is more to sense-thinking problem. So, for me the age of the captain can be any age and if I was the captain, so the age of the captain is 21. For the nearest landmass, I can't brain as there is no information about geography.

HANI

2013-10-08 09:48:37 UTC

i think there's even no statement states that

the ship is moving and sail. how should we know how far is the

nearest landmass. the age of the captain is not a big deal too. i think maybe the ship

is the old ship that has been transformed into a sheep shed

Muhammad Irfan

2013-10-08 09:49:26 UTC

I calculated the age of the captain by using mathematical

addition which is from 26 sheeps and 10 goats, I got 36 years old for the captain's age. While for the nearest landmass....

actually I can't answer the question since there are not enough data but I guess the answer is 260km by multiple the number of sheeps and goats.

Fazrina

2013-10-08 09:49:49 UTC

This question don't have the specific answer. I think the age of the captain around 30-40 yrs old. The nearest landmass is very near.

Mohd Fahmi

mohdfahmibusrah — 2013-10-08 09:51:14 UTC

There's no specific answer and no relationship between age of captain and those animals. The age is probably 18++ until the last day he stay on earth. If he a good man, maybe he can hold up to 100 years old. The landmass is the ship itself he ride

Syuhaidah Latiff

This question doesn't have any realtion between entities : goat,sheep,Captain's age and landmass.

Mostly people will simply take the numbers and make addition from that,to answer Captain's age which is 26+10= 36.

The given answers are not logic , since the question itself doesn't have sufficient information, which people will thought that this question is such a tricky question just to test them.

fiezabanana92 — 2013-10-08 10:00:34 UTC

i think the old of the captain is 36 since the number of the sheeps are 26 and the goats are 10.The far is the nearest landmass is 360 km2 because earth landmass is about 21% from the whole of earth.

aizat

mohdfahmibusrah — 2013-10-08 10:01:14 UTC

The captain is among the sheeps which is old enough because of the majority.The nearest landmass is the boat itself.

Zharif

mohdfahmibusrah — 2013-10-08 10:05:28 UTC

The majority in the ship is sheeps which is 26 while the goats is 10,

so without any extra information given from the question, i prefer one

of the sheeps is the captain of the ship and the age of the captain is the sheep that live more longer than other sheeps. The nearest landmass is the 1st land that is they see from the ship maybe any island such as Pulau Langkawi or Pulau Pangkor.

Nab

2013-10-08 10:06:23 UTC

there is no logically in this question.

the amount of sheep and goats does not really related at all

with the captain's age..furthermore, how going to identify the accurate

landmass with the ship since the info given just about sheep and goat?

Effira

fiezabanana92 — 2013-10-08 10:09:08 UTC

i believe there is no specific answer but i think the age of the captain is around 40 and for the nearest landmass is according to the captain himself where he head to.

ain

2013-10-08 10:10:17 UTC

for me, the captain's age is 35 and the nearest land mass is 23km.since, there are no definit information related to the question are given, so, the answer are variable.Have a nice day, sir =)

Hasikin

2013-10-08 10:10:24 UTC

For me there's no relevant answer for this question because there's no hint I can get from the information given.

As for I know for mathematical reasons, some other people may give the answer by 36 because they will calculate 26 + 10.

But if you really want me to answer, maybe I will say that the age of the captain is 26 and the nearest landmass is about 10km.

puteri

2013-10-08 10:11:13 UTC

In my point of view the age of the captain is 39. This is because the life span of goats are basically between 15 to 18 years old. While the life span of sheeps are around 10 to 12 years old. The matured age to be a captain is 18. So, I just added up with the max lifespan of the animal which is 21. The landmass is just near enough for the captain to take drinks and foods.

Halila Hamdan

fiezabanana92 — 2013-10-08 10:14:58 UTC

I am the captain! And my age is 21 years old. The nearest landmass is where my loved ones are.

athirah

2013-10-08 10:15:28 UTC

making any sense of the words in the question is really impossible to me right now, the age of the captain is not what i'm thinking right now. how did the sheeps and goats got on the ship anyway. from my opinion, the nearest landmass is the floor of the ship itself. i cant think about the age of the captain so i will leave the question unanswered.

Thuwaibah

2013-10-08 10:23:52 UTC

Ever since primary school, when given question that includes number we are being sceptical and stereotype that the answer will be something related to the numbers too. There's no specific answer to the question since the information given are not sufficient. It's based on our scepticism and one's philosophy.

happy holiday Sir!

Nur Shafinaz

2013-10-08 10:52:05 UTC

assalamualaikum doctor, actually i don't see any connection between the sheep and the goats with the captain's age. basically the captain can be at any age. however i could say that the captain age is somehow in a young age such as early 30 because he can manage with so many sheeps and goats on the ship.

the landmass must be as nearer as he can once he arrived at the land.

Mohamad Ridzuan

2013-10-08 11:56:18 UTC

There is no specific answer because the age of the captain and the nearest landmass are not stated in the text.So in my opinion the is no way that I need to adding, multiple, divide and etc to find the age of the captain and how far the nearest landmass.

Najiha

2013-10-08 12:09:01 UTC

I think the answer is 36 years old, as there is only number 26 and 10 in the question. So I think the possible answer is:

26 x 10 = 260 (which is impossible)

26 - 10 = 16 (too young to be a captain, maybe this kids don't even know how to use a compass to navigate the sea)

26 + 10 = 36 (This is the only possible answer for the captain age)

As for the nearest landmass there is no specific answer because the only person that know the nearest landmass is the captain, as he/she is the one who navigate the ship.

what sheep and goat doing in the ship?? and the age of captain too young doing this silly thing and no landmass because they will wreck...

Mohammad Tarmizie Ismail

2013-10-09 09:46:24 UTC

His age is about 40 years old..the nearest landmass maybe about 30km..why?

Because before he sailing, he works as police officer. Then he decided to retired early at age 35 years old.

Then, he bought three sheep and only one goat. After 5 years, his sheep and goat

become 26 ad 10. He decided to go to nearest island by sailing to sell his sheep and goat, and the

actually this is a dream of some kid who having a hard time to sleep so the kid start counting sheep to help him sleep, as he about to count the 27th sheep he start to yawn and after that instead of counting sheep now he counting goat

after the 10th goats he fall asleep then dream about he being a captain of a ship. he arrive to the nearest landmass right before his parent woke him up in the morning. finally he realize his bed is wet because of the sea water

if this is a mathematical problem solving, the information provided is not enough. however, based on logical, the captain must be at the middle age. because at this age, he already experienced a lot & has the knowledge about the surrounding by sailing. the nearest landmass is undefined

Nur Dalila Masrom

2013-10-21 04:46:50 UTC

The question does not give enough information. I think the captain is 40 years old maybe and he already retired. He buys some goat and sheep after his retirement. Nearest landmass is his home now with his dearest person.

the information given just 26 sheeps and 10 goats

on a ship, how we can relate that to find the age of the

captain and the distance of the nearest landmass????

there would so many possibilities answer. i think the captain

must be an adult and the nearest landmass is the floor of the ship =)

siti suhadah

2013-11-14 21:44:35 UTC

As for me, the captain's age is range between 30 to 40 and the nearest landmass is the first place where the captain was seen either through a telescope or through the naked eye.

M.Hanif bin Md. Jais

2013-11-15 05:13:55 UTC

The age of captain can be any number (before 100) since the he can buy the sheep and the goats. the nearest landmass may be the about 1 km since the ship only can be in certain high depth of the sea ( not too near to the beach ).

zul hassif

2013-11-15 10:50:05 UTC

the captain should be around 35 years old. it is because, to handle that much animal in a ship by her self, a lot of energy is required. the nearest landmass is undefined

Khazeman bin Zamanhuri

2013-11-15 19:25:21 UTC

The captain would be around 30 and above since its the

proper age to become such a good captain to handle a ship, and

not a just some boat . It means that the captain is experience. the nearest

landmass maybe not farther than 10km, because deeper sea have

strong wave, that probably make the sheep and goat sick. But hey,

why you need to bother with the captain age

and the nearest landmass, as long as the sheep and

goat arrive on time for the buffet its good enough.. bon appetit

Sorry for being late to post my answer in this wall. In my opinion, this question has no answer because there are no details being given. Usually this kind of question always start with "if you are the person ...". But, it is different with Dr JJ questions. So, I don't get any idea how to answer the questions and what is the answers.

Naim As243

2013-11-18 14:53:32 UTC

The captain must be a matured person

to handle 26 sheep and 10 goats.

The journey must far away because

the bring 26 sheep and 10 goat. The goat and

and sheep is only for food supply.

Khairil

2013-11-19 01:33:05 UTC

the question is not related to each other

but usually to become a captain, you must

have good experience in order to control the ship

against tides and waves of the ocean. distance for

land depends on the distance where the sheep and

goats want to transport

Nuratiqah binti Mohd Salleh/ AS2234

2013-12-03 15:57:28 UTC

I think, the numbers of sheep and goat has not relationship with the captain's old and the distance of landmass to the ship. This question have not sufficient information. So, any answer may be accept as it logic.

2013-12-27 04:00:19 UTC

my side of opinion is that the captain must be old enough to handle so many sheep and goat while for the distance is rather near as it is hard to transfer livestock for long journey rather than to transfer to the nearest land

nadhirah amran-as2285

2013-12-27 09:22:39 UTC
