The Fisherman’s Catch
“How many fish have you caught today, Captain Codworthy?” queried Samuel Nibbs, the bookkeeper of the Acme Fishing Enterprise, as the Aurora docked at the quay.
“More than yesterday, I hope,” he sneered.
“If there had been five times as many as there really are, I would have had just as many over 99 as I now have below it,” replied Captain Codworthy and left the bridge.
Samuel Nibbs was left nonplussed, fingers confusedly tapping buttons on his calculator.
Can you work out how many fish Captain Codworthy caught that day?
