bertusras Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, 1 parrot = 4 Interesting twist...
Readsalot Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 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.
bertusras Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 But, each elephant saw 2 monkeys (6x2=12) Ja but each one could be seeing the same 2 monkeys
forkie Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 Ja but each one could be seeing the same 2 monkeysexactly. same 2 monkeys, same 1 parrot and the ellies are not going to the river bertusras and Captain Fastbastard Mayhem 2
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 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.
forkie Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 ah, but it's EVERY, not each. therein lies the English test
Readsalot Posted March 31, 2017 Posted March 31, 2017 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 Posted March 31, 2017 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.
