Really?. I must take a break from work and take vacation at the florida beach. Work related issue here no dey easy man. Wallahi, i am still confused about the op's challenge. I thought it was simple. But the way rilwayne came about it is strange to me. Indeed, i reason with that.

Empiree:
What were you thinking before you posted this?. It appears to be simple but in fact, complicated. Here is the thing though. The answer could be 13; where one (1) rabbit) and twelve (12) monkeys are heading to the river.


Another format is 18; where six (6) elephants and twelve (12) monkeys are going to the river.


My head is hot right now. I am not thinking straight

Lmao, I got some ice cube for you Bro...

ChucE:
Well bro Rilwayne, you are really a genius for being able to bring forth a very tricky riddle but all the same , I'm up to the task.
Simple, only the rabbit is going to the river. Yes, people may wonder how come its only the rabbit that's going towards the river. but the riddle says the rabbit saw the other animals on its way to the river, and not on their way to the river.
Therefore, only one animal is going to the river.
Thanks.

Na old age

Empiree:

ChucE:
You are really a genius for being able to bring forth a very tricky riddle but all the same , I' can't even think of an answer.

Empiree:
another theory How many of them theories we gonna have .

Rilwayne001:
Lol, he arrived at 25 too. And this thing is not tough at all, how come guys keep getting it wrong? Lol.

Rilwayne001:
Take note that the question says, 'how many animals ARE GOING TOWARDS THE RIVER'. And also, take note that nowhere in the story was it said the the elephants were on there way to the river the way it was said for the rabbit and the monkey. Also, one has to note that, that every elephant saw two monkeys doesn't necessarily mean each of the elephants saw 2 different monkeys, and so the assumption that the total number of the monkeys are 12 is not possible. In my own view, I suppose the 6 elephants saw 2 monkeys.

So 1 rabbit + 2 monkeys + 2 parrots = 5 animals

WWhat's your objection to this^?
