The new math was introduced to public schools in the US about the time Gilligan's Island was first aired. This is a word problem. Let's solve it and show all steps.

Number of people on the boat = 7:
Skipper, Gilligan, Ginger, Maryanne, Mr Howell, Mrs Howell, Professor

Skipper and Gilligan are crew = 2 people

7 minus 2 = 5 people = passengers:
Ginger, Maryanne, Mr Howell, Mrs Howell, Professor

So: 2 crew + 5 passengers = 7 people on the boat

[Titanic1912]

Gilligan and Skipper were the crew! Mr. and Mrs. Howell, Ginger, Mary Ann, and the professor were the passengers!

[readyplayer001]

Skipper and technically his crew are the very doobie infused nitwit Gilligan
passengers are

The Professor, Mary Ann, Mr. Howell, Mrs. Howell
And the movie star Ginger. As a caregiver I catch this with a patient a few times a week, makes my head hurt but thats accounts the other 2.

The skipper & Gilligan are crew & therefore not passengers.

The two extra people are obviously the skipper and Gilligan, neither of whom are passengers. Yes, I've seen the show. :)

[bowenw]

The five passengers are Mary Ann Summers, Ginger Grant, Thurston Howell III, Eunice "Lovey" Howell, and Professor Roy Hinkley.
The two crew members are Willy Gilligan and Captain Jonas Grumby ("The Skipper").

Camera guy and sound guy.. they did have to film it. Duh. 🤓

[Curmudgeon]

Why, Willy Gillian and Skipper Jonas Grumby, of course. They were the crew, not the passengers.

[Curmudgeon]

ugh autocorrect. Willy GILLIGAN.

[BloJo]

It has already been said, but five passengers and two crew are a total of seven people.

[LiamSawyer]

There were five passengers plus the captain and Gilligan making seven in total.

[Subarugirl]

5Pasengers... 2 Crew members... Im no genius but I am pretty sure that the math adds up.

[Pterodon]

Skipper and Gilligan. They’re not passengers. The passengers are
1 Mr Howell
2 Mrs Howell
3 the professor
4 Ginger Grant
5 Mary Ann

Skipper and his helper, Gilligan.

[Red_Arrow]

Gilligan was the "mate", short for first mate.
