Someone asked for fun on this board...

I stole this from my sister on Facebook.

 

 

Riddle me this..... You walk in a room and on the bed there are 2 dogs, 4 cats, one giraffe, 5 cows and a duck, with 3 chickens flying above a chair; how many legs are on the floor?

 

 

Now, I have zero idea what the right answer is.  I have PTSD from the word problems they used to make us do in math class and frankly I think I am dealing with enough in this world right now.

 

My answer was "the ones whose mothers raised them right."  And you?

The 4 from the bed.

Someday, when scientists discover the center of the Universe....some people will be disappointed it is not them.

Added a spoiler hider. Finally a good use for one!

 

 

Spoiler

10 as long as you are the only human in the room. And assuming the chair isn't a rocker and the bed isn't a platform bed.

 

Edited to add: but your answer is much funnier and cuter, @Laura14

I really don't know the answer because they delete it when anyone gets it right but there is a chair in the room too.  Someone complained about that not being counted too.

Chair 4

Bed 4

Yourself 2

Ten Porcelain beat me to it.

Is this correct?

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

I don't know because the bed would have to collapse with all that weight on it. ?

Wear a mask. Social distance. Be part of the solution - not part of the problem.
