Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by mAdBulleT(m): 8:50pm On Jan 03, 2013
Answer this if you can, it would be well appriciated... 86% will get it wrong, I guess.
Qtns:-
(1) If a bird fly, animals run and fishes swim, what do birds do?

(2) If it takes five minutes to cook an egg, how many minutes will it take to cook five eggs?

(3) There are eight apples on the table, you take three. How many apples do you have?

ONLY A GENIUS COULD ANSWER THESE CORRECTLY....

If d ans aint fly, 25mins and 3, then i suggest you check your question
Re: Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by Oahray: 9:27pm On Jan 03, 2013
(1) Dunno if its a typo on your part. It ought to to be a bird flies... Birds fly. (concord- subject/verb agreement)
(2) Put them all in one kettle and they would all get cooked in 5mins.
(3) three apples.

You are almost there, ....you missed only one.
Re: Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by Oahray: 11:11pm On Jan 03, 2013
Hehehe... The only other possibility I can think of is saying for question(3) the 'three' taken does not refer to apples, since it is not stated categorically. Lets say its the figure 3 or three of something else. Silly reasoning, but in that case the answer would be no apple (zero) with me.

Re: Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by Oahray: 11:16pm On Jan 03, 2013
Am not sure question(1) can be further twisted into something that has nothing to do with grammar. A bird flies, animals run, fishes swim, birds fly.

I don't really know you mind, that's why I thought you've come to muck people..... Ok, i'm sorry about that. Don't be offended.
Re: Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by EfemenaXY: 2:21am On Jan 04, 2013
A bird is an animal.

So the answer to question 1 is: flies and runs.

The answer to question 2 is: 5 minutes. (The timetaken to boil an egg is not dependant on the quantity)

Finally, the answer to question 3 is: 3.

Okay.

A bird is an animal, and from the original statement, animals run.

A fish swims, but it's also an animal too.

So therefore, a bird runs, flies and swims.

Either that or your original statements are wrong.

No, not at all..... This Q1 is the simplest question, maybe that's why it gives though time.... because, people alway fail simple questions.
Q1, is talking about living things. Now, this's it;
If a bird fly:- living things can fly.
Animals run:-living things can run.
Fishes swim:-living things can swim.
What do birds do? REMEMBER, ONLY ONE THING IS OMITTED IN THE CHARACTERS OF LIVING THINGS MENTIONED ABOVE, which is "walk".
ans:- BIRDS WALK!
Examples of walking birds:- Hen, Turkey, Ostrich, etc.
so living things can FLY, RUN, SWIM AND WALK.
