Birds and Branches
Some birds have been flying non-stop for two hours. Suddenly, the leader of the group decided that they should all have a rest and it pointed out a tree with bare branches nearby. At first the leader of the birds said that they should be perched on one branch each. By doing so, one of the birds did not have a branch for his own. So, the birds' leader did not like it and said that on each branch there should be two birds perched. In doing so, there was one branch which didn't have any birds on it. How many birds and branches were there?
