The Battle of English and Mathematics is a riddle that has to be solved taking into consideration the clues that are given. At first glance, the clues seem really easy but there is a major twist added to it, which makes it hard for everyone to get the correct answer. The twist can be noticed once the logic is applied to the very simple clues given.
Question
1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river.
Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river.
Every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands.
Now, how many animals are going toward the river?
Answer: 5 animals.
Solution
There is a hidden clue in the riddle and that proves to be a major twist in calculating the answer. Read on to know how the answer is 5.
The clues given above say that every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river. But it does not state that each elephant saw 2 different monkeys going towards the river. Therefore, it must be assumed that all of the elephants saw the same set of pair of monkeys.
So now we have 6 elephants, 2 monkeys. In addition to that, each monkey held a parrot in his hand. That makes it 2 parrots.
So total 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys, and 2 parrots = 5 animals are going towards the river
