Duh!!
Still 40 cups only there is one that is broke it’s still a cup.
Good guess, Cartman.
Not the answer we were looking for, however.
The answer is not forty.
Keep guessing.
The answer is ambiguous because we do not know how many “tea” cups we started with.
Hmmmmm, good answer, but think about it again. It will come to you.
none because there are no tea cups to begin with, only cups
Hmmm, no.
Here’s a hint: Try reading the question out loud.
FOUR tea cups – three will be left
You are correct, Joseph!
If there are FOUR TEA cups on a table and one breaks, how many TEA cups are left? Three.
You are today’s winner.
so nice
3tea cups are left
“Forty” categorically denotes 40. “Four tea cups” therefore is not the answer. Audibly this works, lexically this is shocking. Bad form Pan, Bad form
Don’t mess with me man, I’m a lawyer!
Course you are sunshine. Raking the barrel of property-law are we? As far as im aware Universities still require a basic grasp of grammar and lexicon. Dont get me wrong, i love a story-teller, more power to you. Dont work too hard Mr lawyer man!
If “tea” refers to “-ty” audibly, then the remaining numbers with that sound will give the answer. As such, I believe 20 cups remain.
None as it didn’t specify the forty cups were tea cups.
Ah there are three because there are four tea cups and one broke:)
there are only 3
Lane, you are correct. Look for new riddles every day.
