Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 31, 2017 Share This is my answer: 25. 1 rabbit, 12 monkeys and 12 parrots. The rabbit is going to the river, the 6 elephants aren't going to the river. But, each elephant saw 2 monkeys (6x2=12) going to the river and each monkey had a parrot (12). So, 1 rabbit + 12 monkeys + 12 parrots = 25 animals.ah, but it's EVERY, not each.

Readsalot Posted March 31, 2017 Share Ja but each one could be seeing the same 2 monkeys That is true. They could be deliberately trying to trick us. To me, however, "Every elephant saw" suggests 6 x 2. A different verb would suggest the same thing: If I said every elephant drank 2 beers, it would suggest each elephant drank 2 beers, not that all the elephants drank the same 2 beers.

Readsalot Posted March 31, 2017 Share 2 parrots, but are the parrots going towards the river (i don't think so parrots are begin carried)thus 3 animals Ah, here I would disagree. The parrots are still going towards the river, whether they are being carried or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Readsalot Posted March 31, 2017 Share Didn't your teacher at school tell you that one day you would be glad you studied calculus and geometry, because you would need it? Well, today is that day. Edited March 31, 2017 by Readsalot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 31, 2017 Share Found a whole stack of old cycle magazines left behind by my predecessor. I hear he is the father of Gary Perkins the well know cycling photographer. Edited March 31, 2017 by chainsaw Long Wheel Base 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
