Niveau 4e
A Japanese ship was making its way through the Pacific.
The captain felt like taking a bath and thus went to the bathroom after removing his Rolex
watch and gold bracelet. When he returned back from the bathroom, he found out that his
valuables were missing.
He suspected 5 of his crew members. He called them in and asked all of them what they
were doing for the last 15 minutes.
They replied as follows:
The cook: I was in the fridge room getting meat for cooking.
The Engineer: I was working on the generator engine.
A seaman: I was on the mast correcting the flag which was upside down by mistake.
The Radio officer: I was messaging to company that we will reach the port in the next two
days that is Friday morning at 11.
The navigation officer: I was taking a nap before my night watch began.
Upon hearing all of them, the captain found out who was the thief.
How did he know that? Who is the thief?
Réponse : After all the four crew members placed reasons in their defence, the captain realised that one of them has given a wrong reason, due to his lack of knowledge, and he was the Srilankan Worker.
