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?
The objective is to test the reaction of these kids based on type of answer they give.
The results they obtain, most China kids really would provide an answer and never doubt about this question or check with teacher. Most France kids would doubt about it and query the teacher or mock the teacher about the correctness of this question.
Interesting to try on your kids to see what is their reaction and share with us 🙂
Captain definitely above 18 years old to work on board a boat.
