Cows + goats maths question

:rotflmao: buay tahan
It may not be possible to compute the age of the captain of the ship but we can make assumptions about how long more he will live. Assuming there were an equal number of cows and goats to start with, and that it takes 10 days to consume kambing soup made out of a single goat, that would mean the captain has consumed (75-34) * 10 days = 410 days of kambing soup. Since each bowl contains 164 calories (from http://www.livestrong.com/thedailyplate/nutrition-calories/food/generic/indian-mutton-soup/), he would have consumed a total of 67,240 calories. At this rate, he will only be able to enjoy another 32,760 calories or 200 days more before he dies from the total of 100,000 calories.daisyt:
Saw this article in My Paper. This test was conducted in China and France on Primary school kids.
On a ship there are 75 cows & 34 goats. How old is the captain of the ship?
