I am sitting at a table.
Ten flies are on the table. With one swat - I kill three flies.
How many flies are left on the table?
None, certainly the rest flew away.
3 the ones you kiled, 7 flew away
Well, now, that certainly depends on the fly swatter doesn't it? Some smoosh the flies so that the resultant goo sticks to the table. Others smoosh the fly into the fly swatter. Some don't reliably do either, in which case you may a fly or two smooshed into the swatter and one gooped on the table. In the latter case, the question cannot be answered as stated. Also, in the case of a fly being partially smooshed into the table and partially smooshed into the fly swatter, I'm assuming you would need a greater than %50 resultant smooshed fly mass left on the table to qualify saying that the fly was left (mostly) on the table. Difficult to measure, especially if the smack was hard enough to send fly goo elsewhere. I suppose then you could measure what you have left against the average mass for that particulary type of fly to ensure you have enough left to determine whether the majority is on the table of swatter. You see, it's far more complicated than stated....

Hell, I was assuming that a smooshed fly is no longer a "fly" but is, instead, simply a smudge of acidic goo.

I guess we can get philosophical about it. Is a fly merely the sum of its parts? Or is there something more. Is an expired fly still a fly with merely a changed state of being, or does it cease to be a fly at all? Does an intact deceased fly still retain some sort of fly status, whilst a smooshed one becomes a mere puddle of goo? Its basic make up is still the same, only the structure has altered, perhaps to the unrecognizable.

Well now a fly that has been smooshed can't can he? So is he still called a "Fly"

If you pull off his wings, but don't smoosh him, does he become a "walk"?
