I join you in battle, fist clenched tight.
We pound three times with all our might.
If my rival decides he will sign for peace;
I'll crush him, and the fight will cease.
But if he lays his hand down flat;
I'll suffer defeat, that is that.

What am I?

Black it is, when bought.

Red it is, while in use.

Grey it is, when you throw it away.

6 ants were walking in a line, one behind the other. The first ant turns back, looks and says " There are 5 ants behind me". The second ant turns back, looks and says. " There are 4 ants behind me. " Similarly, the third ant says, " There are 3 ants behind me". The fourth and fifth also follow suit and say, " There are 2 ants behind me" and " There is 1 ant behind me" respectively.

But, the sixth ant turns back, looks and says, " There are 6 ants behind me."

How is this possible?

@blackSnowflake25 because all the ants from behind now follows on the sixth ant. plus its shadow? (forgive my answer)

@mikhaela

There's a much simpler reason to this, Mik. A cheeky one, too cheeky

@blackSnowflake25

There are only 6 ants.. and if there would be 6 ants behind another one.. that would make the total 7. Which is obviously impossible.. so.. he's lying? cheeky
