A group of ducks is crossing a bridge. There's a duck in front of two ducks, a duck between two ducks, and a duck behind two ducks. How many ducks are on the bridge?

*MouseWife just passing through*
:p

Three

You're jumping to conclusions.

Which bridge?
Suspension bridge?
Golden Gate Bridge?
London Bridge?
Terabithia?

Led Zeppelin's "Confounded bridge"

Or could it be the bridge to the song Disco Duck?

Wait...it's Huey, Dewey and Louie.

What was the question again?

Conclusions jumped: That all of the ducks are walking single file. That all of the ducks are headed in the same direction. That the conditions of all of the ducks, vis a vis the other ducks, are described. That cricket is not involved.

Correcting for those conclusions I am going to say the answer is 15, one of which is a cricket batsman who scored a duck.

Honestly, I had forgotten how to do the derivative of 10^x so I looked it up. And the reference I used said it's 10^x log(10). Since log(10) is 1 I simplified. So I guess it's wrong.

Yes, it was a more convoluted way to say exponential growth, but it essentially proves that it is exponential growth.

Why did the ducks cross the bridge? Are they European or African ducks?

DUCKS!



Oh come on, you couldn't think that was going to go unmentioned.

What do you mean? An African or European duck?
