No, not at all..... This Q1 is the simplest question, maybe that's why it gives though time.... because, people alway fail simple questions.
Q1, is talking about living things. Now, this's it;
If a bird fly:- living things can fly.
Animals run:-living things can run.
Fishes swim:-living things can swim.
What do birds do? REMEMBER, ONLY ONE THING IS OMITTED IN THE CHARACTERS ON LIVING THINGS ABOVE, which is "walk".
ans:- BIRDS WALK!
Examples of walking birds:- Hen, Turkey, Ostrich, etc.
so living things can FLY, RUN, SWIM AND WALK.
i get your point but i disagree to agree: if bird wasn't mentioned at first in d puzzle, it'd have made sense but so long bird's been mentioned, its a no no...for d question had k-leg

lol... Fine, I believe you know that birds are classified into two categories. The flying birds and walking birds.... Read the Q1 again, you'll get my point.

I knew your logic was lopsided and therefore the reasoning behind your answer is wrong. Not only is your reasoning or rather your explanation wrong, it's also very misleading.

~ Have you ever heard of the word slither?

~ Tell me, how do snails, slugs, snakes and other leg-less land reptiles move?

~ If the basis of your "correct" answer is limited to the forms of movement of living things, then you've just gotta admit you haven't covered them all.

Now, I think it's obvious that your "Brain Teaser" is a copy & paste piece of work...and a badly copied one at that, if you don't mind my saying so. grin grin grin

Kindly post the link from where you got that. I'm sure the original unmodified statements and questions are a lot more comprehensible...

Please i'm no genius,... Ok?
But mind you, that Q1 seems to be your problem...
Stop saying the question is incorrect.
Just REMEMBER that, it's not all birds that fly....
Is it all animals that run? Do snails run? Are fishes not animals? Do they run? No let me vex o angry
Re: Brain Teaser (are You A Genius???) by Oahray: 11:17am On Jan 04, 2013
Efemena_xy:

Okay.

A bird is an animal, and from the original statement, animals run.

A fish swims, but it's also an animal too.

So therefore, a bird runs, flies and swims.

Either that or your original statements are wrong.
look at what you just said in a nutshell.
All fishes are animals. Some animals are fishes. All birds are animals.
Therefore some birds are fishes.
Lol. Seriously? Its not certain from the premise given.

now this is just dumb. A bird flies and birds walk? Seriously? So the first flying bird is not a hen, turkey or an ostrich, but the birds are? Oh boy... *face palm*

You're lodging a complaint, simply because you don't what to admit you are wrong. Mind you this isn't copy and paste, it's a research work.
Afterall, I know this would happen, that's why I make the question clear.
"IF A BIRD FLY:- Not All Birds.
ANIMALS RUN:- I did not say, all animals. (Mrs Slither)
FISHES SWIM:- despite all fishes swim, I did not say ALL.
WHAT DO BIRDS DO If you expect me to say, what do other birds do? Then it's no more a brain teaser.

Go get some sleep.

You're tired.

And get yourself some Science Is Discovery textbooks. They're bound to ease your confusion.

Lol. Seriously? Its not certain from the premise given.

And whose conclusion is that? Mine? Or yours?

Like I mentioned earlier, the logic behind the @poster's "brain teaser" is lopsided

So obviously, trying to reason out his question based on his incorrect/wacky facts would yield an equally lopsided / wacky result.

It can't be that hard for you to comprehend, can it??

Oahray: That's what happens when a market woman is in charge of job interviews for lecturers grin grin

No need to get your knickers in a twist. I already pointed out that his logic is flawed!

So what exactly is your point, Iron-bender?

Why you wan vex, is it b/cos you are confused?.... You are an Animal, aren't you?. If so,.. Cant you run?
Can't you swim? Can't you walk?
The question talks about characters of living things....
Fly, Run, Swim were mentioned, except "walk". But, despite tree is a living thing, can it do all these??
That's why I didn't say ALL.

You'll do well in comedy, I'll grant you that grin grin

Er, I hope you don't mind my asking... but where you ever present at your "Introductory Biology" classes at secondary school? shocked shocked

Or were you out in the bush plucking mangoes? grin grin

If you're going to talk about the characteristics (and not characters) of living things, use the acronym MR NIGER D

M - Movement (now you can mention walking, jumping, flying, sliding and all what not...)
R - Respiration

N - Nutrition
I - Jeez I can't remember! cheesy cheesy
G - Growth
E - Excretion
R - Reproduction

D - Death (yes, all living things die eventually...)

lol, you think I copied and pasted this??
Whatever, the fact you need to know is that, some birds fly while some can't...
Flying birds are: doves, kites, pigeons, e.t.c
Walking birds are: Ostrich, Hen, etc
Note: Those mentioned flying birds can still walk or run... So, the question states characters of living things such as Walking, Running, Swimming, Flying... IF BIRDS FLY, WHAT DO BIRDS DO.... you should know i'm refaring to the walking birds... (Brain teaser)

from the text in bold, it can be said that the answer will be ambiguous. You asked what BIRDS DO. from your explanation of what ANIMALS mean(not all animals), BIRDS should also mean not all birds. Hence the answer could be fly or walk or run Making the question faulty.

There is no such thing as the characters of living things!

Or if there is, then pls do tell...
