    If the lions haven't eaten in years, I'd imagine they've perished, so the room w/lions is safest?

    ETA: Well... I don't know how much of a twister these q's are... for instance, the lions could have procreated & the newer lions eventually ate the deceased ones & on & on... or the loaded guns could have jammed... These brainteasers twist my brain. :confused:

    In a square room there is a cat in every corner of this room.
    In front of every cat there are 3 cats.
    How many cats are there in all?

    4?

    I'm driving through miniature fruit, in a miniature soft drink. Through which city am I driving, and in which state?

    (I'll make it progressively easier if need be)

    Well played 👌

    I can see how cowsfan12 might think 5, but there's more to it than meets the eye. The rabbit see 6 elephants while going, so the rabbit may be just looking over its shoulder as it hops on over to the river, so that's 1 animal so far.

    Then we have 2 monkey going to the river, so that's a total of 3 animals so far. But the parrots that the monkeys hold are being taken by the monkeys, possibly against their will. So do the birds even count?

    If we're talking about free will and consent, I say 3 animals are going to the river. The birds may be getting hijacked.

    If I’m driving in a mini soft drink, I’m in Minnesota. If I’m driving through mini fruit, I’m lost!
