Sitting on the Fence
Trick brain teasers appear difficult at first, but they have a trick that makes them really easy.
There are fifteen birds sitting on a fence and you shoot one. How many are left?
Answer
None, the rest would have flown away.

| "... but I like your thinking". LMAO If you've seen the Little Johnny joke, you'll know what I'm talking about here. Good Teaser! |

| I think it'd depend on how long the fence is. Take a fence half a mile long, shoot a bird at one end with a BB Gun, and the birds on the other end won't ever notice...  |

| impossible to answer. What if the birds were deaf and you didn't scare them. So there are many possibilities. |

| You cannot prove for certain that the other birds would fly away. If, for example you shot the bird from some distance away with a small calibur pellet, it is possible many of the other birds would not have noticed. Your "trick" answer must stand against all logical arguements. |

| 115, because they have flown away, but are still "there" in the world! Or 14 alive... |

| What if the other birds just didn't give a crap?
Or if they wanted the other one to die because he was annoying them...
Or, what if you "shot" the one with a camera?
Too many possibilities...  |
