Is their destination relevant?
No An island? The ground? A city? The first safe place?
Ulysses relevant?
No But maybe they were experienced sailors...
They were notIs the sea on Earth?
No! Is the sea on the moon?
NoWould they have died in the Atlantic?
Assume No I mean, they fact that they would have known were they were does not mean that they were safe. They could have been in the middle of nowhere in the Atlantic Ocean still knowing where they found themselves.
Does North and South Atlantic make a difference?
No Would the puzzle work with "Indian Ocean" rather than "Atlantic Ocean"?
Yes or "Pacific Ocean"?
Yes If not, relevant that Atlantic is quite in the middle of Earth?
Relevant where they believed to be?
Not specificallythey would not have gotten lost --> does it mean that they would have known exactly where they were?
I'll say Yes, but it more means that they'd have made it to their destination without getting lost along the way If so, with respect to something relevant
I have to give a Yes to this too (the North? A city? An island?)?
But not these Is the sea part of the Atlantic Ocean relevantly?
Again, not specifically Tides and winds relevant?
NoDid they know in which sea they were sailing?
Yesish Relevant where they set out?
No Or maybe they were pirates stealing other boats (e.g. they stole steamships)?
No Had they been in Atlantic Ocean, would they have know that they were sailing in the Atlantic Ocean?
Yes, so rest are No/Irrel Or they would have believed to sail somewhere else? If so, relevant where they would have believed to sail?
Sea = Mediterranean Sea? Red Sea? Black Sea? Arctic sea? A sea on Earth?
No to allDid they base on a map relevantly to find the way?
Eventually If so, were minor seas signed on the map?
Irrel Was there: a wind rose?
No geographic coordinates?
YesDon't know much about compasses to find the way in the sea/Ocean, but still, since Ocean is bigger than a sea, is the width of the opening of the compass relevant?
No ...maybe it has something to do with min/max radius of the circle that can be made on a map by opening the compass (which fits in an Ocean but not in a sea)?
No Unless I am wrongly translating the word "compass"...
There are two tools that share the name "compass"; I'm referring to the one used for navigation, not the one used for drawingMagnetism relevant? Magnetic field? Disturbance to magnetic field?
No to all
