Lol, this is funny.

How about this?

There's 10 birds on the tree, the hunter managed to shoot one down.

How many birds are there left?






Answer: 1 (the one that the hunter shot dead was lying at the bottom of the tree)

Some will answer 9, assuming they are not afraid of gunshots.

Some will answer 0, thinking that all of them flew away but forgot about the one that the hunter shot down.
