daewoorazer:

You’d have been right if it added “more”

As in “half more of us and you”
He's right, you are wrong

In the end part of the statement, it says "make us 100 not "make 100". That means they are part of the equation

X is number of birds flying in a group - x

They met 1 bird - 1

Half number in the group - x÷2

Half number in group plus 1 gives 100 - (x÷2)+1=100

X÷2 = 99

X=198

This generation is finished
Just see this primary school teaser and these nairalanders can't even give a procedural solution

What a shame!!!

Interpretation: 198 birds were in the group set
But total number of birds in the air is (group + one bird)
Therefore total number of birds is 198 + 1

199 (answer)

Answer is 198,
Let 'b' rep the total no of the birds.

½b+ 1 = 100

½b = 99

b = 99 x 2

b=198

So half of 198 birds + the other bird is equal to 100.

This is simple English na..

49 is the answer
.

Half of hundred is 50.

They said they would need more half of them plus him ..don't forget.. a bird.. the bird... Means 1 bird..

They're 49.. plus him.. equals. 50..

They're actual number is 49

Its very easy .. According to d words of d multiple birds rep....0.5x + 1 = 100
X = 198 ..so they are 198

So then , total birds in the sky = 198 + 1 = 199...
Hear this , " it takes half of us (198/2 = 99) plus you (1) to make us 100...

It says they need half of them not more half. To get a half u have to divide the number by 2
