  1. seven chairs with seven people sitting in them!


  2. Seven. It didn't say the people left with the chairs or anything. :) So they all must still be in the room with the chairs.

  3. 7 cuz the chairs are still there.

  4. O > none

  5. there would be 6 chairs left

    because if all the 7 people in the room takes the one chair then there would be 6 chairs left

  6. none

    all the chairs are taken

  7. It's seven (7). Also known as siete in spanish. The creator of this question "cleverly" used the term "taking a chair" figuratively meaning sitting down in one- not physically taking the chair out of the room. Hilarious...

  8. its a trick question, it depends on the definition of take

    the answer is 7 if "take" is used in the modern way as to occupy

    the answer is 0 if "take" is used in its traditional defintion as to remove

  9. 7

  10. none to sit but there are seven

  11. 7.

  12. All the chairs in the world are left, unless someone somewhere completely destroyed one to where it isn't a chair anymore. If you mean in the room, either seven or zero (depending on what it meant by "take").

  13. none - because all the people have took on the seven seats.

  14. Seven

  15. i can be 7 - if you mean 'take' as in sit on.

    or 0 - if you mean 'take' as in remove.

    well done :)

  16. If by "takes a chair" you mean sits on a chair the answer is:

    There is still seven chairs in the room.

    If by "takes a chair"  you mean removes a chair from the room the answer is:

    There are no chairs in the room.

  17. If those seven people are guests on the Geraldo Rivera show, they will start arguing then hitting each other with chairs.  The chairs will be demolished, leaving 7 people with no chairs but lots of rubble and possible concussions.

    CLEVER question, Princess!  Clever....

  18. No chairs left.

  19. there are still 7 chairs in the room

    but 0 left to sit on

  20. It does not specify if the person "took" the chair as in they picked it up and walked away with it.  Or, did the person "take" a chair as in they sat down on it.  

    If they sat, there are still 7 chairs.

    If they stole them, then there are no chairs.  (unless the police return them all)

  21. Not very much info, You should say if when 7 people take the 7 chairs is it still in the room or not?

  22. seven chairs are left because nobody took a chair

  23. The chairs are still there. They just sat in them

  24. Seven because there are still seven people in the room but now they're all sitting down.

  25. i am guessing zero but then again i could be wrong, i failed my math last semester.

  26. 1. 7........because they are still in the room...!

    2.  0.......because they`ve been stolen by the people...!

    3. only 1...the Electric chair.  because the people stole them got caught , convicted and sentenced to death by Electrocution.

    really , `m sticking to Answer #1.          :>)

  27. NONE IF THEY TAKE THEM.

    SEVEN IF THEY ARE MERELY SITTING IN THEM.

    IT'S ALL IN THE PHRASING.
