I have seen different variations/variables to this question.
I'm purposely asking it in the manner I am. Not only am I looking for the correct answer, I am looking for the reason/logic in which you came up with your answer.

Mr. Smith had four daughters. Each daughter had four brothers. How many kids does Mr. Smith have?

[Deleted User 89]

quick answer is 20

[Deleted User 289]

Not the number nor the answer I was looking for.
I can't say there is a definitive "right" or "wrong" answer - especially if I don't know how someone came to the conclusion.

Brother to one daughter is also a brother to her sister

Not the answer I was looking for. Doesn't mean it's wrong.

[ousdahl]

are we talking like biological brothers, or like the way black people say it?

4 daughters, each with 4 brothers

that makes 4 groups of 5 siblings each

20 total

Brother to one daughter is also a brother to her sister

or it could be this, if it’s the same set of brothers

not enough info to know for sure

could be any combination of brothers that overlap between the daughters

racist

[ousdahl]

yeah I am racist...towards white people.

I like the idea of humans considering other humans “brothers” regardless of whether they’re actually biological family.

Stop acting like we aren’t all from Africa, you buncha honkeys.

We’re also all cousins. At least that’s what the Bible and a drunk bartender in
Key Largo told me.

Iron Mike and In The Air Tonight (Phil Collins) will forever be linked in my mind

[Mjl]

His power is vastly overrated, as much as his skill and intelligence are vastly underrated

[TDub]

Who wins. Mike or Ali?

[Mjl]

Ali, easily

[Deleted User 310]

On paper Ali, but when you've got knock out power like Tyson you've always got a punchers chance to land a good 1 and put the lights out.

[TDub]

Ali, easily

Easily?

I dont think so. I think Ali wins. But if he lost concentration or lapsed mentally or misjudged one slip, or got caught showboating......one hitter quitter. Mike could make him go night night.

[Deleted User 310]

Ya. Can't definitively say ANYONE would beat prime Mike.
