If you got the correct answer, well done!! Don't worry if you did not get the correct answer, coz we (Dad and Mum) got it wrong too. @ Why is the answer 5 ? e oO» SE en Li a Let's go through the question again. 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants while going to the river. <- Hence, 1 animal (rabbit) is going towards the river. Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river. <- This is the tricky part, from the sentence it seems to imply each of the 6 elephants saw 2 monkeys going towards the river, hence logically will be 6 x 2 = 12 animals (monkeys) going towards the river. However, the statement does not explicitly mention that “Every elephant saw 2 DIFFERENT monkeys...”, hence implicit rules apply and infer that the 2 monkeys are the same. hipihuvwitourorecious comisimele-math-rick-queston! 589srzo18 sino nay tekqusten- Bate trots ve Math Hence, correct answer is that every elephant saw 2 monkeys, and by inference, the 2 monkeys are the same, hence there exists only 2 monkeys which are going towards the river !! @ Finally, every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands. <- Hence, 2 parrots are going towards the river. So in total, 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and 2 parrots (5 animals) are going towards the river.

Only 4 are going towards! @ giftourprecious ® 11 months ago 6 Permalink Hi Patrick, 1 rabbit saw 6 elephants “while going to” the river. “while going to” refers to an action in progress, hence the rabbit is still on it’s way towards the river. Agree? 4 Rob © 11 months ago @ Permalink hhipshwwugittoursecious comsimple-mat-vick-quoston! 21189ta018 ‘Single math rick queston- Batte of English Vs Math The answer could be 25. It doesn't say if the rabbit saw the elephants as a group or individually. Because every elephant saw 2 monkeys. And were they different monkeys or the same 2 monkeys. Your explanation doesn’t make sense. My answer would be 5 or 25 because it lacks information. 4 giftourprecious ® 10 months ago @ Permalink Hi Rob, This is the tricky part of the question, whether the rabbit saw the elephants as a group or individually is not significant as compared to whether the elephants saw different monkeys or the same 2 monkeys. Let's recap the statement “Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river.” The statement does not explicitly mention that “Every elephant saw 2 DIFFERENT monkeys...”, hence implicit rules apply and infer that the 2 monkeys are the same. Well, the question is worded on purpose to be tricky and that is the fun part right? © a David nths ago @ Permalink hipihwvuitourorecious comisimele-math-rick-queston! 289srzo18 sino nay tekqusten- Bate trots ve Math What Rob is bringing up is that neither time nor distance are defined in the puzzle. The puzzle does not specify that the “saw” happened at the exact same spot in time. How long was the rabbit traveling? Were any of the monkeys or the rabbit traveling at the oblique? Were the monkeys traveling behind elephants and not seen by them, but seen by elephants on the other side of the river? Another flaw in this solution's logic is the assumption that the elephants were NOT also going to the river. The rabbit, while traveling to the river, could well have seen six elephants, also traveling to the river. What you CAN guarantee is, at a minimum, is that one rabbit, two monkeys and two parrots are traveling. 4 giftourprecious @10months ago & Permalink Hi David, Exactly! If the question does not explicitly mention time, distance, whether the monkeys were traveling behind elephants or any other further info, then that shouldn't be part of the consideration as the solution right? That kind of assumption should fall under guesswork, imagination and possibility. ® hipihwvuitourorecious comisimele-math-rick-queston! 289ta018 Singemathvickqueston- Bate of English Ve Math Well, since the question again does NOT explicitly mention that the elephants were going towards the river, hence NO assumption should be made that the elephants MAY be going towards the river. Yes, you are right, with the available information provided, what can be derived is that 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and 2 parrots are going towards the river. Bo @3monthsago 6 Permalink What exactly do you mean by “implicit rules apply’? Because the question does not say whether every elephant saw the same two monkeys or not, no assumption should be made either way. Because the question does not say whether the elephants are going towards the river, no assumption should be made either way.

You're assuming that the 6 elephants that the rabbit sees are together in a group. The rabbit could just as easily have seen 1 elephant every half an hour. There's nothing in the wording to definitively say. And by that logic each of these elephants could have seen a different pair of monkeys. This would mean there are numerous combinations of meetings/sightings that could each be equally valid, and as such a variety of “correct” answers to this! Bob 5 months ago 6 Permalink Nope..

The rabbit is going ‘to’ the river, (sooner or later) that is his final destination. Who knows how many other places he goes ‘towards’ (direction) before he to finally goes ‘towards’ the river instead of just ‘to’. So here is my rationale. OK.... here is where | stand now and why. 1. A bird is an animal. (I checked) 2. The word “to” is a ‘destination’. 3. The word “towards” is a ‘direction’. 4. The word “each” refers to an individual object, person, or thing. 5. The word “every” refers to a group of objects, persons, or things lumped together as one. Yes... google has been my friend, As well as Susan Thompson Trawick & Patty Walker Swinford sus. and others. As we figured this out together. The following is ‘my’ reasoning... yours may vary & be different. The rabbit is going ‘to’ the river not ‘towards’. The question specifically asks... “How many animals are going ‘towards’ the river”? The rabbit is out as far as ‘Il’ am concerned. pin itourorecious comisimele-math-rick-queston! 289srzo18 Single math wekquaston- Bete of English Vs Mah Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going “towards” the river. The word ‘every’ tells us it is a group of elephants. So they saw the same 2 monkeys. That is 2 monkeys. Each monkey carried 1 parrot. That is 2 parrots. My final answer is 4. 2 monkeys carrying 1 parrot each..... going ‘towards’ the river = 4 animals going ‘towards’ the river. 4 giftourprecious 9 3months ago @ Permalink Hi Chuck, We salute and applaud you for taking your time and effort in researching and explaining your reasoning.

Best regards, Chuck @ Permalink The rabbit is going to the river, stating a specific destination being the river (the rabbit might not be at the river yet and going towards, but will be making its way there.) The monkeys and parrots are going towards the river and may not actually be heading to the river. The dictionary is splitting hairs and my logic is also splitting hairs. 4 Peter jonths ago 6 Permalink So in this instance going to the river is an intention. Going towards just indicates that the monkeys and parrots are traveling in the direction of the river, without saying absolutely that the river is the destination. Hopefully this is a better example of the difference as you can not look at to and towards separately.

So how are you arriving at two parrots when the riddle clearly states that both monkeys are holding the same one parrot? If there were two parrots, then the riddle would either state, “Every monkey holds TWO parrots in their hands,” or more likely, “ EACH monkey holds one parrot in their hands.” EVERY implies the monkeys as a group. EACH would imply the monkeys individually. giftourprecious months ago @ Permalink Hi Tim, According to https:/Awww.englishclub.com/grammar/determiners- quantifiers-each-every.htm , EACH expresses the idea of “one by one”. It emphasizes individuality. hiipshwwugitourpecious comisimple-mat-vick-quoston!ta018 Single math wekquaston- Bete of English Vs Mah EVERY is half-way between each and all. It sees things or people as singular, but in a group or in general. E.g. Every artist is sensitive. Each artist sees things differently. Every soldier saluted the president as he arrived. The president gave each soldier a medal. Refer to the 3rd example “Every soldier saluted the president as he arrived.”, it refers that each soldier is performing an action (salute) individually as a group. Vs “Every soldier saw the president as he arrived.” , it refers that each soldier saw an external event (president) individually as a group. Hence, the same logic applies to this maths question. “Every elephant saw 2 monkeys going towards the river.” , it refers that each elephant saw an external event (2 monkeys) individually as a group. “Every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands.” , it refers that each monkey is performing an action (holds 1 parrot) individually as a group.

If you use the same logic applied to every elephant saw 2 monkeys then if every monkey held 1 parrot that would be only one parrot that every one of them held together right?... not “each” Monkey carrying a parrot. 4 giftourprecious 2 8 months ago Permalink Hi Julie, The logic applied is similar to the soldier example above. When an external event (every elephant saw 2 monkeys or every soldier saw the president) is observed, it implies that each observer saw an external object individually as a group, hence the external object observed can refer to the same object. However, when an action is performed (every monkey holds 1 parrot in their hands or every soldier saluted the president) individually as a group, each individual is performing an action individually (each soldier raise their own hand and point to hiipshwwa gitoursrecious comisimple-mat-rick-quoston!ta018 sino nay tekqusten- Bate trots ve Math their own head to salute or each monkey hold 1 parrot in their hands), hence when each monkey is performing an action (holds 1 parrot in their hands), the monkey is doing so individually (each monkey holds 1 parrot) as a group, hence 2 parrots in total. If it is true that the 2 monkeys are together holding the same 1 parrot in their hands, it will mean that each soldier raise their own hand and all the hands point to just one soldier's head (the soldier's head is analogous to the same 1 parrot) to perform the salute and that would just be weird. @ Agree? a Andy @6months ago @ Permalink Your question is a battle between English and Mathematics, the question specifically asks how many are going TOWARDS not TO. As pointed out the rabbit is not going TOWARDS the river yet, but there is no argument regarding it’s destination, therefore it is an assumption that it is travelling directly there, so at this point we should rule out the rabbit's direction.

Thank you! 4 Edeh Kingsley © 3months ago & Permalink One Rabbit + two monkeys = three animals going towards the river. The question didn’t say every monkey going to the river held one parrot. It just said every monkey holds one parrot. Remember the elephants only saw two rabbits, they weren't holding anything. Probably the parrots were already at the river. They are birds, they can fly.

Parrots are birds they flew above the elephants. hhipshwwagitoursecious comisimple-mat-rick-quoston!2018 ‘Single math rick queston- Batte of English Vs Math Your email address will not be published.
