Lets See How Technical You Can Think!!! by Bimffo(m): 11:43am On Oct 11, 2015 |
Some birds were flying and met a bird on their way. The bird greeted them, 'Hello Hundred!' They said, we are not hundred, we need half of us plus you to make us hundred. Q. How many birds were flying? 2 Likes 1 Share |

198 birds were flying. 100=x/2 + 1 100 - 1= x/2 99=x/2 99*2=x x=198 2 Likes 1 Share |

Let the number of birds X Since it's half of the birds plus one bird that would sum up 100. Therefore 1/2x + 1=100 X+2 divided by 2 =100 Cross multiplying we have X+2 =200 X=198. |

Re: Lets See How Technical You Can Think!!! by Airell: 3:19pm On Oct 11, 2015 |
The birds flying are 66, half of 66 is 33.
66+33=99
Plus the bird they met on their way
99+1=100.
In a nutshell, number of birds flying is 66. 1 Like |

Lool which kain puzzle be this? The grammar is flawed though, 198 or 66 could work... The reason why 66 may not work is that the puzzle didn't say we need half of us and you more to be hundred. Without that more, it could be implied that a reduction will have to be made to arrive at hundred. 2 Likes |

Nope if there birds were 198 flying, it makes not
sense them saying they are not up to a 100 yet.
The correct answer is 66
1/2(x)+x+1=100
x+2x+2=200
3x = 200-2
3x = 198
X =198/3
X = 66
Hence its 66 birds flying not 198 birds flying
To explain further logically, half of 66 is 33 plus
the 1 is 34. 66+34=100 2 Likes |

this is a very question i dnt xpct any competent mathematician to fail. i'm highly surprised of wat hav been seeing so far. now lets go by d solution, "we need half of us + u (a single bird) alongside wit us to make hundred right? now lets use (x) to represent number of birds flying prior to d encountering of d single bird. lets divide x by two to represent number they were expecting to complete them hundred x/2. x + x/2 +1(d single bird to make dem 100) = 100 collect like terms x+x/2=100-1 => x+x/2=99 l.c.m of d left equation (2x + x)/2 =99 cross multiply 3x=198 now find x ( number of the birds on their way b4 they encounter dat single bird, remember we represent them wit x ) x= 66. (which implies dat 66 birds were on their way) now lets go in a theorical way, wats half of 66? 33 right? now 66+33=99+1(the other bird)=100. clear now? 4 Likes |
