❤ Johnny Johnny : Yes Papa ❤

Good night

Little Johnny's teacher asks him, "If I gave you two cats, then two more, and two more cats; how many would you have?"

Little Johnny replies, "Seven!"

His teacher asks him again more slowly, "If I gave you two cats, then two more, and two more cats; how many would you have?"

But again Little Johnny replies, "Seven!"

Next she asks, "If I get two cats, then two more, and two more cats; how many would I have?"

Little Johnny replies, "Six!"

"Good Job Johnny! Now if I gave you two cats, then two more, and two more cats; how many would you have?"

Johnny thinks for a second, "Seven."

But Johnny is not wrong. Why?

Answer :-


When Johnny was asked how many cats are there in :

2 + 2 + 2

Note that the teacher gave 6 cats here

He said 7 .


But he is correct as per question.


When Johnny gives back 6 cats to the teacher the teacher has 6.

And it is right as per the question.


So in the first case we can conclude that an additional cat was there with Johnny which was NOT there with the teacher .


This way Johnny had 7 cats when someone gave 6 to hiem but teacher will have 6 when 6 is given to him .


If you strictly go with the question the answer is:

Johnny already had a cat before !
