its the same thing with cats and mice but with different animals. ive seen this one a lot of times.
i dont get it
um...not the best one ive seen...nice try, though
Haha. Ok.. I got it right though so yay
Easy divide the number of frogs by the number of storks to get the number each must catch.
In the first case it they catch 1 each in 5 minutes.
In the second case they catch 1 each in the same amount of time.
In the first case it they catch 1 each in 5 minutes.

It is even simpler than that... it takes a stork 5 minutes to catch a frog. Period. So in five minutes, x storks catch x frogs. No math needed. Fun teaser well done.
Weeellll - that depends. You didn't specify whether the frogs are being caught sequentially or concurrently.
If five storks catch five frogs in five minutes, it could mean that each stork needed only one minute to catch its frog. If you then put 1000 storks near 1000 frogs and yelled "GO" - it would all be over in 1 minute.
