There were 5 birds on the tree. A hunter came and shot all (of them) except 3. How many birds left on the tree?
I'm not sure, but I think it'll be 2 birds..
Maybe it isn't as easy as I think
No. You're wrong - it's easy.
Just think what will happen if you shot at a tree and there are birds on it...
The answer is 2.
This is because the only birds that remain are the 2 dead ones. The others flew away.
However, an hour later, there were 5 birds. Because the 3 came back for the funeral of the 2 dead birds.

Really? Proof it.
I think there will be 2 more birds.
