Problems from Fall Semester 1997

Here's a puzzler to think about while you sit under a blanket and watch the snow come down.

If a steamship weighs 10,000 tons
and sails 5,000 miles,
with a cargo large of overshoes
and carving knives and files,
if the mates were almost 6 feet tall
and the bos'n near the same,
would you subtract or multiply
to find the captain's name?

Thanks to Gilbert and Sullivan.
