Nope, you’re right. This is not an appropriate or even a passable logic question. Basic skills are desperately needed. The younger college students I have in my classes are mostly math illiterate. Writing, reading, critical analysis skills are just as bad.

“Hes a city boy. Any shepherd worth his salt would handle a mere 25 sheep with one dog.”
I was going to say he was really young, as he needed 5 dogs.
I do like the answer where the kid tried to explain it by birth rates. I have had my daughter make assumptions when clearly the math problem doesn’t make sense as there is not enough information, or it is worded poorly.

There are 25 sheep and 5 dogs in a flock-——————
Is not a proper question, teacher needs more training
Sheep can be in a flock - - Dogs can be in a pack
‘
Sheep and dogs do not create a “flock”

They are equal in weight - - however change “lead” to “gold” and they are not equal in weight, how can this be?

With the limited information provided, there are two possible answers: a) too numerous to count; or 2) None, all were lost in a tragic boating accident.

Lead, because gold is measured using Troy ounces and pounds. A troy ounce is more than a standard ounce, but a troy pound only has 12 ounces.

Because there is a ‘b’ in both and an ‘n’ in neither.
