Brain Teaser: 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? |

A mathematical Approach..
Let 'us' be equal to k..
Thus,
(k/2)+k+1=100;
k+2k+2=100;
3k=198;
K=66. |

Phantom2:Could you explain the reason for your answer? |
Re: Smart Brains; Answer This! by Basildvalour(m): 7:59am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Aooux:Could you help with an explanation? |
Re: Smart Brains; Answer This! by Phantom2(m): 10:23am On Oct 23, 2015 |
Basildvalour: 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 what do I win |

Let me lend my voice to this logic . Logically , the right answer to this should be - I don't know - They all left - None - I couldn't count Do you know why? The question says the birds were flying . Would birds flying wait for you to count them . Think about it |
