Title: Half a chicken
Post by Garzahd on Jan 8^th, 2003, 1:55pm

If half a chicken can produce half an egg in half a day, how many eggs can 10 chickens produce in 10 days?

None. Even if you cut them in half, they'd still only produce half-eggs.

200 is correct.

James, you're supposed to laugh at the question, not the answer. :D

The question itself is ridiculous! How can a chicken produce HALF an egg?!? (unless it's comfortable sleeping with an egg protruding from it's ****)

Give it a few days, and half a chicken will produce a nasty stench. :P :)
