Imagine this: you're on a ship, the S.S. Buoyant, carrying the last of a rare fish species – let's call them Milyhya – to their new home. Suddenly, a huge storm hits! Tanks go flying, and these precious Milyhya are lost in the ocean. Yikes! What do you do? This is where things get interesting. You have a rescue sub, but only enough fuel for one trip down. You also have a problem: you don't know how many Milyhya tanks are missing! Talk about pressure! Luckily, you have some clues. Your sonar tells you some tanks landed in different areas of the ocean floor, along with some hungry sharks. You also know that each tank had the same number of Milyhya. Can you solve the mystery and save these amazing fish? This is a real brain teaser, just like the one Steve Wyborney, a math whiz, created. He loves using fun stories to help kids learn problem-solving. You can find his awesome fish riddle video online – it's super engaging! So, how do you solve this fishy riddle? It's all about using the information you have, even if it seems like there are too many missing pieces. You need to think about:
* The number of tanks: You know the ship could carry up to 13 tanks.
* The sharks: Each area of the ocean floor has a different number of sharks. That's a big clue!
* The Milyhya: Remember, the same number of Milyhya were in each tank.
By carefully looking at all these clues, you can use math and logic to figure out where the missing tanks are and save the day! It's like being a detective of the deep sea! This story reminds us that even when things seem impossible, by breaking down a problem and using what we know, we can find solutions. And who knows, maybe you'll be inspired to learn more about amazing underwater creatures like the Betta fish, the Wolf Fish, or even the colorful Milyhya – if they really exist!
