Quiz: How Many Legs Do You Have?

When asked, “You have 3 cows, 2 dogs, and 1 cat, how many legs do you have?” the answer isn’t what you expect—here’s the clever trick!

Each of the three cows has four legs, which gives us 12 legs. The two dogs also have four legs each, totaling 8 legs. Finally, the single cat has four legs, too. So, adding up the animals’ legs, you get 24 in total.

However, this is where the trick lies. The question isn’t asking how many legs the animals have, but how many you have.

It’s easy to focus on the animals, but the question is about you. Assuming you’re a human, the correct answer is two legs, regardless of how many animals are involved.

In conclusion, the answer to the quiz is two legs—yours! This riddle is a fun reminder that sometimes the most obvious answer isn’t always the right one. Always pay close attention to the wording!
