How many goldfish remain?
Here is today’s challenge. The image below shows a riddle that goes:
“10 goldfish live in the tank. Two fish drown, three of them die, and four swim away. How many goldfish remain in the tank?”
Here is the picture.
Pretty easy, right? I can give you a small hint; it’s not as simple as it looks.
If you can’t solve it, we’ll share the correct answer after the image below.
Here is the answer
The correct answer is 10 goldfish.
How did we get there?
Well, because fish breathe underwater, they can’t drown. And since they are in a tank, they can’t swim away either. And if they die, well, they remain in the tank. After all, the question is, how many are left? And not, how many are alive?
