As the cargo director on the maiden voyage of the S. S. Buoyant, youve agreed to transport several tanks containing the last specimens of an endangered fish species to their new aquarium. Unfortunately, the boat is battered by a fierce storm, throwing your precious cargo overboard. Can you get the fish to safety and save the day? Steve Wyborney shows how. Lesson by Steve Wyborney Tom: Woohoo! I did this one. I started by multiplying the 6 tanks by 3-7 to try and find a number close to 50 after adding the 6 sharks, that also needed space for either 1/3/5 or 7 sharks. and also left room for some tanks. I went with 3 so 6x3=18 then +6 sharks=24. Then I know I needed to add 3/5/7 sharks to that and also some more tanks with (3) fish in. so 7 tanks x3 =21. 24+21=45 +5 sharks. I actually found it easier to think of this and work it out then explaining it now lol

Safety to environment, insurance, possibility of survival, cost of recovery, personal safety. Fuel is priority to personal safety. What's the point of risking a specie s that have a better chance of survival than you do at the same instance?

Y'all answers are complicated but my answer was Correct all you have to do is
If the sector
Alpha has 2 FISH 4 SHARKS = 6
Beta has 4 FISH 2 SHARKS = 6
Gamma has 3 FISH 3 SHARKS = 6
answer 3 EZ

My initial number for total of fish was 44 (didnt consider the one shark that must have been present in G and instead included the number x of possible sharks in G in those 44) and I got it right anyway

I got it right away.
Of course its 13. No self respecting sea captain would load their ship below maximum capacity! That would just be fiscally irresponsible

this is just algebra: ( i dont wanna do a math word problem, i want to do a create riddle! ik a lotta these riddles r math, but this one just really really stood out
reply

Why wouldn't the shipping notes mention how many tanks there are? Shouldn't that mention everything about the cargo, including how much of something there are?

OMG SOLVED IT! I can never solve these riddles without watching the solution but this time I did it! I know it's silly but. yeah I'm happy

I can't believe I actually had the patience to pause this video for 5 whole minutes and figure it out.
Thing is I actually got it right.
