come ON! does seriously no one here know how old the captain is? or are you just to shy to tell?

Sorry, but I thought I invest my last surviving brain cell into my first year report rather than the age of the captain - mind you one has a solution the other one hasn't

58?

tricky, i don't know - you tell me! for me the answer is 31.

well oz that's why i made it REAL easy. just look at the first sentence and the last. the rest is befuddlement.

Tricky isn't 58 but maybe if he was the captain, he would be 58?

well, if's and when's... i thought i'd made clear that tricky IS the captain - or anyone else who wants to solve the "puzzle"... and i thought i'd made it impossible with the rest of the information to find out anything about the age of the captain? or did i mess it up?

Oooo I AM the captain! I solved it using a bit of algebra.. Giving the captain's age of 58... but just so everyone knows as I am the captain the answer is 26 :-p
