Count Of All The Crows In The Kingdom

He readily answered:

"There are ninety five thousand four hundred and sixty-three crows in the kingdom".

Amazed at his quick response, Akbar tried his best to outwit him:

"What if there be more crows than you answered?"

Without hesitation, Birbal replied:

"Then some crows must have visited from neighbouring kingdoms"

"And what if there be less crows?" Demanded Akbar.

And then came Birbal's instant answer!

"Then some crows from our kingdom must have gone on vacation to other parts"

Emperor Akbar, thereby, realized that Birbal's wit was a hard nut to crack. Nevertheless, he realized his administrative folly on statistical data.
