The Fisherman's Boat
Question: A fisherman unties his boat from the dock and jumps into the stationary boat at a rate of 5 meters/sec. He lands in the boat but, since his center of gravity was off balance, falls over backwards at 6.3 rev/sec, sending the boat away from him and the dock at 15 knots/hour. The boat continues away from the dock, decelerating due to water resistance at a rate of 1 knot/sec². It comes to a stop and, 5.3 sec later, another boat nearly collides with it. The second boat had to turn 45° to the left in 2.5 sec to dodge the boat, causing the driver of the boat to collide with a passenger next to him at 56 meters/hour and causing the passenger to fall overboard into the water 2.3 meters away from the first boat. The second boat now turns around at 45 rev/min and comes back to pick up its overboard passenger. However, a third boat was not watching out for this and had to turn 60° to the right in 1.8 sec in order to avoid collision. The collision was avoided but the driver of the third boat was thrown onto the second boat at 50 miles/hour and collided with the second boat's diver, causing them to be thrown to the floor at 25 miles/hour each and decreasing their IQ levels 12 points an 20 points respectively. The third boat, now driverless, speeds away at 60 knots/hour. It travels 3546.2 meters before colliding with a waterfront restaurant, causing $45,000 in damage to the restaurant, disrupting the meals of 53 people, staining the dresses of 32 women, causing cracks to spider in 27 window panes, and causing 2.7 babies to cry. How many fish were caught by the combined effort of the fisherman, the driver of the third boat, the passenger of the second boat, and the cook of the waterfront restaurant?

3 - The passenger caught a fish in her pants after falling in, the cook caught a fish in his face after the quake that ensued from the boat crash caused a prepared salmon dish to fall from a high shelf, and there was still one minnow left in the fisherman's boat after it nearly capsized.
