Um.............5. 1 duck that's alive and four dead ones. I mean...you still have them, right? You know what, I don't know. To come to think of it, my answer is ridiculous.

That is strange...
The answer is either 1 or 5. There's 1 more alive; but 5 of them are still in the water . . . |

I guess it's one of those IQ questions, right?
The answer is 5, 1 alive and 4 dead. |

^ I agree with her answer. You still got them five ducks. Just some that are dead....They should make that problem multiple choice...and leave out one number that's not 1. or something..lol
Damn trick questions. -.- |

Personally, I can't imagine the question to be from a genuine math textbook. In addition, I'm sure the topic starter has an idea of the answer by now, so I will close this topic.
