Yes, there is a riddle that goes like that, isn't there? I'm pretty sure I had it at the back of my mind, when I populated that boat, originally. (There are several different versions of that riddle, I think.)

I didn't spell the implications of that out too much, so I'm glad you clearly got it anyway!
