jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Its zero b.c zero 6 without head => 0 9 without tail => 0 8 in two halves => 0 & 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In that case, question need to be reworded.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Question just say "fishes." should be saying "full fishes"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

question is tricky because it is worded incorrectly...

jagr2713 (jagr2713):

Not really

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So fish without head is not fish? it's like saying body corpse is not human.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
