@Ciphoenix, here is what you say; "from your explanation of what ANIMALS mean(not all animals), BIRDS should also mean not all birds". [/quote] YES! I don't refer to all birds.... IF BIRDS FLY, WHAT DO BIRDS DO?
I'm sorry, if I offended you.

not offended. Just trying to get it straight. So, if it means NOT ALL BIRDS. Then there should be multiple answers because some fly, some don't. Don't you think?

Yeah, some birds fly while others don't.... But the answer is obvious, because the question has stated the flying birds already.

Answer this, if you want me to reason with you.....
If,
1=5
2=10
3=15
4=20
5=?

with all due respect, if we are to go by this logic, what BIRDS(which means SOME birds) do would be either fly or run or walk or swim. Your premise only talks about a BIRD that flies, doesn't exclude the possibility of SOME others flying.

Cool, you know if we say BIRDS in general, we are talking about the flying, i.e Eagles, Parrots, the walking i.e fowl,ostrich and the swimming e.g duck, geese e.t.c . If we are to talk of the abilities of birds ...I've mentioned "fly", "run", "swim", in the question, you should then know that the answer is "birds walk".
You see, in that brain teaser I make use of FLY, RUN, SWIM, and WALK; only that, "walk" was the omission that should be looked for?
Here is the question;
If a bird fly, Animals run, Fishes swim, what do Birds do?
Despite "ANIMALS" has taken the place of BIRDS and FISHES in that question, doesn't make it amiss. It's not a normal question..IT'S A BRAIN TEASER
The focal point of the question is; FLY, RUN, SWIM, and " ? "
So I used these to represent the verbs above.
Bird (Kite)
Animals
Fishes
Birds (Hen and Turkey)
The brain teaser doesn't ask you to state Animals, it deals with the movement; FLY, RUN, SWIM and WALK!

Hi Bullet,
You know what? I can imagine all the birds gathering right now and laughing at we humans...all because of your first Brain Teaser. I think you shouldn't have included that first question in the first place. I saw some very wonderful people coming here, disagreeing with your premises and you, on the other hand, making them take umbrage at your not-so-polite comments.

Let me give you a piece of advice, buddy. Never insult people who are kind enough to visit your threads and drop a few comments, not even when they infuriate you or disagree with ya. If you begin to insult people at leisure, then chance has it that you may end up with fewer friends than foes. Of course, you may get your skin back on the person who insulted you (on his or her thread, simple).

Insult or no insult...it's also quite wrong to call a lady a "CRAZY BI.TCH"! I view you as someone who insults others at the slightest given chance, I may be wrong though.

Okay, can someone crack this brain-teaser?

@Larry Sun, I got your point.... I'm astound with your clue in, THANKS A LOT.
Re: Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by Mescopaul(m): 2:55pm On Jul 01, 2014
Actually i got your drift @*** - bullet.

If i were you sir i wouldnt include the FISH in the teaser, cos from your explanation you made use of the the Walking, flying, running and swimming movements.

Your teaser was right in a way but a little flaw spoilt the beauty of it.

First you said "birds fly, (what remains of the movement of birds is run, walk, and swim).

Next you said Animals run, (birds included, so fly and run has been covered remaining swim and walk).
Saying Fishes swim was out of the way, since the bird case-study has nothing to do with fish.
If you had said something like "Animals run and swim", thereby covering the run and swim movements since birds are also animals, we would have been left with only the WALK movement, which will not be easy to get though.

Or rather you could have omitted the Fish part, thereby leaving your audience to figure either one of swim and walk or both of them.

Your teaser was great, but your 'Fish' mis-mangled the first Question. Thanks.
