198 birds were flying. Half of them is 99 plus the lone bird to make them 100 birds.

67 birds were flying in total

66 were flying together and made the statement "we need half of us plus you to make us 100"
While the other 1 bird made the statement "hello 100"

So 67 is the total birds flying except of course that one bird was walking in the sky angry

Atleast the question didn't say the one bird they met was flying. That one bird might have been standing on a cable or rooftop, but it is expressly stated that others were flying.

The birds said that they need half of them plus the one bird that said hello to them.
Therefore in mathematical terms we have:
The number of the group of birds as X,
Half of the group of birds as X/2,
Then the lonely bird that said hello to the group is 1
So the total should be 100
X + X/2 + 1 = 100

collect like terms,

X + X/2 = 100 - 1
3X/2 = 99
3X = 2 * 99
3X = 198
X = 198 รท3
X = 66

So we have the total number of birds in the group as 66, and a lonely bird which is 1
Then the number of birds flying is 66 + 1 = 67. grin

I go with u

Total number of birds flying=x
Total number of birds missing=x/2
Total number of birds missing with one met flying alone=x/2+1
x+x/2+1=100
3x/2=99
3x=198
x=66...
