The single bird greeted the flock "hello hundred" but the flock replied "we are not hundred, half of us plus you will make us hundred". How many birds were flying?
Let the number of birds in the flock be x
But half of x plus 1 will make a hundred so, (x ÷ 2) + 1 = 100 x ÷ 2 = 99 x = 99 * 2 x = 198
So, number of birds in the flock is 198.
But here is the tricky part, the question asked "How many birds were flying?" NOT "What is the number of birds in the flock?". The single bird that greeted the flock was also flying (if he wasn't flying how would he have met the flying flock?).
So, number of birds flying = number of flock + single bird = 198 + 1 = 199

Durov said on his Telegram channel today that the two and a half year blockchain and crypto project has been put to sleep. Ironically, after leaving Russia because the government wanted his encryption keys to his social media firm, Durov’s cryptocurrency idea lost steam because of a U.S. court. “The technology we created allowed for an open, free, decentralized exchange of value and ideas. TON had the potential to revolutionize how people store and transfer funds and information,” he wrote on his channel. “Unfortunately, a U.S. court stopped TON from happening.”
The messaging service and social-media platform owes creditors roughly $700 million by the end of April, according to people briefed on the company’s plans and loan documents viewed by The Wall Street Journal. At the same time, Telegram Group Inc. must cover rising equipment and bandwidth expenses because of its rapid growth, despite going years without attempting to generate revenue.
