Bird Riddle
There are ten birds sitting on a fence. You shoot one. How many are left?
Choose an answer
A.Nine
B.One
C.Zero, and the shot bird stays
D.None are left. All the others are scared away because of the gunshot.
Answer: None are left. All the others are scared away because of the gunshot.
The riddle's twist is that a gunshot would scare off the surviving birds, leaving none behind despite the arithmetic seeming to say nine.
