Another Riddle

[Gavin Allan]

Ducks fly south in a "V" shape.



Why is one leg of the "V" longer than the other one?

 

[Tony Tassillo]

because there are more geese on that one side.

 

[Travis Munday]

It may have more to do with WHY the fly in a V rather then numbers. The last bird on the long leg is doing the least amount of work, and after the lead fowl, who works the most, get tired, he falls back to the long leg to rest.



Other then that, I've no idea.

 

[EddieS'04]

that is the path of rotation from the exchange of taking turns being the lead bird..

 

[paul caughman]

maybe it is just cause there are more on on side than on the other side

 

[Gavin Allan]

I'm sorry, but MTony and SoundGuy got it right. One side of the "V" is longer than the other because there are more geese on that side.



Apparently Sportrac owners are much smarter than most people!

Gavin...that wasnt a riddle, it was a trick question...:lol:

 

[Travis Munday]

OK, so we know why geese have uneven 'V's, but what about the ducks from the original question?

 

[Gavin Allan]

Oh, man, Tiger.... That one left a mark!

 

[Travis Munday]

We call that a zinger.
