A textbook in mathematics was published by EXMO-Press (Russia) in 2002. These are some tasks from the textbook. We note that the text has NOT been changed, but exactly reprinted from the book: 1. Cut a corner from a table. How many corners are left on the table? And how many corners will there be if two, three, four corners are cut? A: If the table is quadrangular (which is not obvious), it will naturally become five. Or four. Depending on the cutting line. And if we assume that we cut in a straight line, not figured. If we cut another corner - it depends on who and again on what line we cut. Generally speaking, the task is bad - there are too many assumptions ... 2. There were 3 carrots and 4 apples in a plate. How much fruit is in the plate? A: Well, what is fruit so far, biology has not given a definition, but if it is in the store - then 4 apples. 3. 5 light bulbs shone on the chandelier. Two of them burned. How many lamps are left on the chandelier? Answer: Excellent task. I think it is clear that there are 5 left (the task does not say anywhere that they removed them after the burn). Separately, however, when you think about it, there may have been 5 lights, but there may have been 10. 4. A mother had a daughter Dasha, a son Sasha, a dog Roshlio and a cat Pisan. How many children did mom have? Answer: Biologically - two. Legally too. And whether he considers animals as his children (even foster children) is a separate question. 5. There are 8 shoes in the hallway. How many children play in the room? A: Ndaaa ... Without in-depth knowledge, the task is difficult. It can be assumed with a high degree of certainty that there are no more than 4, if we exclude the possibility that someone came barefoot or came in with the shoes. 6. There are 12 knives on several tables. How many tables are in the room? Answer: obviously - a few. Or a lot ... 7. The hen Mirka gave birth to chicks: one redhead and two squirrels. How many chicks does Mirka have? A: The chicks are three, there is no dispute, but Mirka is a mutated hen - she gives birth. 8. Two hairs, two swallows, two hedgehogs arrived (in Russian it is obviously a spelling mistake). How many birds have flown? A: Arrived over houses? Well, if the ability to fly still doesn't make the hedgehog a bird (they may have just thrown it hard and high), then the birds are 4. 9. Three sparrows were sitting on the water. One took off. How many are left? A: One thing is left. Which took off. The others have sunk. Warranty! 10. A multicolored ring rolls on the table: one part of it is red, the other green, and the third yellow. When the ring rolls to the end of the table, what color will be visible? Answer: Assuming that the table has angles. And about the colorful ring: how do I know? 11. Children's books were on the shelf. A dog came running and took one book, then another, then two more. How many books will you read? A: Well, who knows how many. No more than four. However, he may not read everything. But no matter how much he reads, they will be useful - the dog is obviously smart. 12. Mom dropped a tray with two cups of flowers, two of peaches and two of strawberries. How many glasses are left? Ans .: It depends on the softness of the floor (or whatever she dropped them there) and the fragility of the glasses ... 13. There were three twigs on the oak and three apples on each of them. How many apples are there? Answer: How many in the world or how many in oak? On the oak - nine. And all the apples - a lot ... (well, an oak with apples - they may have nailed 3 apple branches to it - or grafted it?) 14. How many chicks did the rooster bring out if he laid 5 eggs? A: Where did he take them? on a walk? It must be a lot. But once the eggs have just been laid (by the rooster tc, tc) I don't count them. 15. A banana falls from the tree every 5 minutes. How many will fall in an hour? A: It's very clear - 12. Unless the one with the bag of bananas on the Christmas tree runs out sooner. 16. A rooster and a hen are walking in the yard. The rooster has 2 legs, and the hen has 4. (interesting hen - 4 legs) How many legs have walked in the yard? A: When I look, it depends on the location of the hen's legs and I don't know how much she uses. As well as which legs should I consider walking? If the other pair sticks out on their backs, or if they crawl ... 17. There were 5 cups of strawberries on the table. Misho ate one and left it on the table. How many glasses are on the table? A: Uneaten or total? Uneaten - 4. Otherwise they are still 5. 18.
