The battle of Mathematics and English. Let’s see who can get it right
Question:
1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river. Every elephant saw 3 monkeys going to the river. Each monkey had 1 tortoise in each hand.
How many animals are going to the river?
If you win, I will delete your answer so that others can still guess .
I actually do not know the answer. You might consider telling your logic.


4 ‘going’ to the river (1rabbit and 3monkeys) 6 being ‘taken’ (tortoises’). The answer is 4.

9 elephants
3 monkeys
3 tortoises

The rabbit was not going to the river, it saw the 9 elephants going to the river.
Every elephant saw the same 3 monkeys.
Each monkey held a tortoise.

Guess it's all in the interpretation-
"1 rabbit saw 9 elephants while going to the river.".

According to the wording, 10 animals were going to the river.

1 Rabbit going to the river; 3 monkeys going to the river; monkeys were carrying a total of 6 tortoises.
1+3+6=10
The elephants were not going to the river, they saw the monkeys going to the river.
Going on the premise that each elephant saw the same monkeys.

(Hope the monkeys didn't put the tortoises in the river, the tortoises will drown.)


The rabbit is not going to the river. He saw.....

The details are hazy so you have to make assumptions. There is no correct answer.
