Transcribed Image Text:Captain Jack Sparrow has charged his first mate,
Mr. Gibbs, with sitting in the crow's nest to keep an
eye out for ships from the British Royal Navy. Over
the course of a year, Mr. Gibbs sits diligently in the
crow's nest and waits for the captain's call.
Whenever Jack is wary of enemy ships, he calls up
to Mr. Gibbs and asks for a report. Mr. Gibbs does
his best to discern enemy ships from outcroppings
of rocks, but he isn't always perfect. After a
successful raid on a British outpost, Jack finds ship
records of all the British ships in the Caribbean that
dates back several years. Captain Jack then
approaches you, a lowly deckhand known for being
"witty", and commands you to evaluate Mr. Gibbs'
work over the last year by comparing Mr. Gibbs'
declarations against the record. Here's how the
records breaks down: 45 times, Mr. Gibbs yelled "A
SHIP CAPT'N!!" and there was in fact a British naval
ship present. 70 times, Mr. Gibbs yelled "JUST
ROCKS CAPT'N!!" and there was no British ship, so
it must have just been rocks. 30 times, Mr. Gibbs
yelled "A SHIP CAPT'N!!" and there was no British
ship, so it must have just been rocks. 5 times, Mr.
Gibbs yelled "JUST ROCKS CAPT'N!!" and there
was in fact a British naval ship present.
