Captured Captain

Congratulations, you've climbed on board the ship and captured the captain before he was able to escape. You've put him into a spare row boat and pointed him in the direction of the deserted island which is 12 km away. He is old and can only row at 3 kph. You want to give him one liter of water for every hour he rows, but you only have a measuring cup. How much water in cups should you give him so he can make it to the island?

Hints:

  • 1 liter = 33.8 ounces
  • 1 cup = 8 ounces
