Answer 2

I think you're missing the point here, Ms. Sue.
Math problems do not always have to be scientifically accurate, at least in cases like these.

Answer 3

As a teacher I can't be a party to misinformation. In this case, the rate quoted is at least 10 times faster than normal.

I believe that Tristan miscopied the problem.

Answer 4

I believe that the answer is 36,000 even though it doesn't flap it's wings that fast
