You start with 10 fish.
The riddle says “5 drowned”, but fish can’t drown—they live in water and breathe through gills. So the number of fish hasn’t actually changed.
Then it says “3 came back to life”, which implies they had died. But again, even if some fish had died and then “came back,” it doesn’t change how many you have—they were still counted originally.
Answer: You still have 10 fish.
This is a trick question meant to confuse with illogical or impossible statements.
