SoBeLiz Posted February 28, 2003 Report Share Posted February 28, 2003 My favourite puzzle of all time... Three hawks have been killing a farmer's chickens. One day he sees all three sitting on the roof of his chicken coop. The farmer has just one bullet in his gun and the hawks are so far apart that he can only hit one. He aims at the hawk on the left and shoots and kills it. The bullet doesn't ricochert. How many hawks are left on the roof? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monopolized Posted March 2, 2003 Report Share Posted March 2, 2003 If the hawks are so far apart and he shot the left hawk, maybe the right hawk either didn't budge, came back within a short time, or just moved over. :hmm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoBeLiz Posted March 7, 2003 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2003 :clap: nice try everyone You know this is the first one I had to answer I think..wow Dun look if you want to get it on your own style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Spoiler (Highlight to Read): That there is more than one answer There can either be 0,1,2 or 3 hawks left on the roof For example0-the dead one falls off, the other two fly away 1-the dead one doesn't fall off, the other two fly away 2-the dead one falls off, the other two stay 3-the dead one doesn't fall off, the other two stay Of course there are more possibilities, but I don't want to be here all day style_emoticons/default/smile.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
