Prompt:
You are an operations research expert analyzing the results from three different optimization solvers. Based on the original mathematical formulation and solver execution results, provide a comprehensive analysis and final recommendation.

ORIGINAL MATHEMATICAL FORMULATION:
## 4. Mathematical Optimization Formulation

#### Decision Variables
- Let \( x_{ij} \) be a binary decision variable where \( x_{ij} = 1 \) if captain \( i \) is assigned to ship \( j \), and \( x_{ij} = 0 \) otherwise.

#### Objective Function
- Minimize the total age of captains assigned to ships:
  \[
  \text{Minimize } \sum_{i} \sum_{j} \text{age}_i \times x_{ij}
  \]
  where \(\text{age}_i\) is the age of captain \( i \).

#### Constraints
1. Each captain is assigned to exactly one ship:
   \[
   \sum_{j} x_{ij} = 1 \quad \forall i
   \]

2. Each ship has exactly one captain:
   \[
   \sum_{i} x_{ij} = 1 \quad \forall j
   \]

3. Only eligible captains (age ≤ 60) can be assigned:
   \[
   x_{ij} = 0 \quad \text{if } \text{age}_i > 60
   \]

Data Source Verification:
- The coefficient \(\text{age}_i\) in the objective function comes from the `Captain.age` column.
- The constraints ensuring each captain is assigned to exactly one ship and each ship has exactly one captain are derived from the `ConstraintBounds` table, specifically the `captain_assignment` and `ship_assignment` columns, both set to 1.
