It is not raining. There are no oranges present. The truck is green. Bonus point: Identify the sex of the duck. Cheating will result in instant disqualification. Cheers Billy 8-{) Answer: Neither, one leg are both the same Bonus point: Female, males are called drakes. |

| 725467 | 2008-12-05 03:44:00 | There is no difference between a duck, since one leg is just the same. | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 725468 | 2008-12-05 04:08:00 | Hmmmm... "the difference between a duck when it walks" - between this and what? :p | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 725469 | 2008-12-05 04:29:00 | a) Knowing that a typical cat has a tail and four legs: 1T -> 4L (i.e. 1 Tail = 4 Legs) 2T -> 8L 3T -> 12L.... Now let's focus on the difference (which tells us how many more legs are there compared to the number of tails): 4L - 1T = 3 8 - 2 = 6 12 - 3 = 9 16 - 4 = 12 20 - 5 = 15 24 - 6 = 18 28 - 7 = 21 A difference of 21 indicates that there are 28 legs. 28 / 4 = 7 cats (My Theory) :) Mrs Misty - who has problems like this for breakfast - says your approach is impeccable ! :D Misty |
