2? Or did they have some to eat as well?

Mattb · Post by **Mattb** » Sun May 21, 2006 12:51 pm

The common misconception. Its not two.

Bet you've been thinking of the animals went in two by two, hurrah hurrah! I wish they'd stop teaching kids that, its wrong.

cant remember the exact figure but i do remember that certain animals were mentioned independantly and given a figure.

Also wasnt this a question on QI a while ago?

It was a question on QI, very good for remembering that!

I'll give you a clue though, as this appears trickier than i thought! It's a number between 1 and 10.

That's a very good piece of:

a)deduction
b)guesswork
c)googlework

there tka.

Here's the excerpt from Genesis 7:2;

'Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Which begs the question what happens to the spare sheep after the otehr three pair off. Groupie? Threesome? Love triangle? I dunno. Over to you!
