The challenge for the Chinese students brought the Network to a standstill : In the World : Vladim

Users joined the discussion on the Network, discussing the ways the decision of the children’s tasks, even after it became known the answer, they could not agree. Fifth graders from Sichuan province was obliged to solve this problem, developed for the purpose of development of logical thinking and children.

In accordance with the terms of the task, you need to figure out the age of the captain of a ship if on Board are 26 sheep and 10 goats. Adults and children put forward improbable assumptions in order to cope with the task. Many called 18-years of age, because otherwise the captain would not be allowed to steer the boat, while the other 36 – year-old age, insisting on narcissicist men who took the ship, the number of animals equal to his years.

However, in reality, it was much easier, since the task has no answer and is designed to develop logic.
