No, nothing to do with the full, four-page Nunes report or the Russian, only with critical thinking

""If a ship had 26 sheep and 10 goats on board, how old is the ship's captain?""

"This Chinese math problem has no answer. Actually, it has a lot of them."

To be honest, more like a Zen Buddhist koan than a maths problem.

A student asked Master Yun-Men "Not even a thought has arisen; is there still a sin or not?" Master replied, "Mount Meru!"

"What is Buddha?" Dongshan said, "Three pounds of flax."

Two hands clap and there is a sound. What is the sound of one hand?

"Does a dog have Buddha nature or not?" Zhaozhou said, "Wú".
