The tree has no apples hanging from it. Someone has carved apples into the trunk.

I see what you guys are saying. When I first read the question I somehow missed the "You see a tree with apples on it." part (I think I read it as something like "You see an apple tree."). So yes, the answer is two.

Our teacher said it was a whole number answer. 2 sounds pretty good. I had no clue, honestly. :)

 

 

 

Well, since when do trees grow fractions of apples?

 

 

 

Since birds started eating 'em.

Nah, It's actually just a guy named apples sitting on one of the branches of the tree. So, one.

 

 

 

LOl, I have no idea. If there was some sort of number in that problem, maybe i'd get it, but....

Yeah, you neither take Apples nor leave Apples. You _______ Apples.

 

 

 

Any ideas? :XD:

 

 

 

 

 

But seriously, thanks for the input everyone. It's nice to know that there are smart people out there. On Rs forums especially. :thumbsup:

LOL

 

 

 

This is not Alg 3/Trig!!!

Pi of course (3.141...)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then you have apple Pi \

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok.. that was a stretch

Yeah, it's gotta be two. Not really maths though.

 

But how can it be 2 if you leave no apples :?

 

 

 

Because it says "Apples" and apples being plural meening more than 1 it meens you could of left an "apple"

 

 

 

The answer is 2 its just a brainteaser and in no way related to anything mathamatical >.< what strange maths lessons you have! wish they where mine ^^

My vote is none. If you leave apples without taking them, then you don't have any on neither.

there has to be more than 1 since it said apple(s)

There WERE 0 apples on the tree then it grew and formed apples.

 

 

 

It asked how many apples WERE on the tree not how many apples ARE on the tree. The only answer we can conclude is 0 apples were on the tree when it was a sprout or a seed. If it means how many apples are on the tree after you are finished not picking apples and not leaving apples then the answer is:

 

 

 

x + (plus or minus) 0

 

 

 

And then of course there's the smart alecky answer.

 

 

 

What tree?

 

 

 

I've never seen an apple tree in my life and yet this question is asking me to recount how many apples were on an apple tree it says I've seen before. Yet I can't possibly figure out the answer to this problem without seeing the tree so my answer is:

 

 

 

What tree?

 

 

 

EDIT: Also how do you know something else hasn't been picking or leaving apples whilst you were standing around admiring the tree?

I have come to the conclusion there is no tree, there is only a stupid question.

X > 1 :-k

Pi of course (3.141...)

Oh I see what you did there :P :wink:

It is not the tree that bends only the mind that bends.

Hey these were only brain-teasers I guess. Right now we're ACTUALLY doing functions, relations, matrices, etc.

 

 

 

Fun stuff. :?

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just inquisitive idiots.
