0 Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 0--similar to "If ten birds are on a wire and I shoot one with a shotgun, how many are left?" Food is food, and I'm sure cannibalism exists in the Insect Kingdom! I was too busy trying to make people laugh on Brainden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 preflop Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 if all the flies were dead to start - i would say 10, 7 dead unsquished flies, and 3 dead squished flies. if they were all alive probably 3 dead squished flies, but maybe some live ones that did not fly off (how big is the table, how brave are the flies). or maybe more as the table is covered with glue and new flies keep landing all the time.

0 Guest Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 It depends on the answer you want: you could squish three at once and miraculously they stay there then 10 you could squish three at once and the rest leave that's 3 or if you don't count dead one it's 7 or if you kill three the rest fly and you still don't count dead ones than it's 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
