Riddles really take a little more brainstorming than we care to admit! And let’s face it, sometimes, we adults are also left scratching our heads when it comes to the strangest of the riddles! Sometimes, the riddles are so easy that the kids solve them in almost no time while adults take forever to solve the simplest ones of the lot! Let us look at this one for an instance!

 

 

So, here it goes! Consider that there are 10 fish in the water tank. Now two of them get drowned in the water, four of them swim away from the tank and three of them, so how many are left?

Still unable to think of a more accurate answer? So, here’s it!
