Spotted this conundrum on Facebook and finally got it right after a number of errors. So thought it would be fun to see how you do with it too.

Post your answers on the thread (ideally without explanation) and we will post here at 5pm with the correct answer (and explanation)

If anyone has an issue viewing the photo, let us know and we can post the text on the thread.

Although it depends whether the rabbit saw a) 6 individual elephants, on different parts of its journey, or b) saw them all at the same time, all together.

If a) then each elephant saw 2 monkeys each holding a parrot, so that would be 6 x (2+2) = 24, plus the rabbit, making 25 in total.

If b) then the elephants all saw the same 2 monkeys, each holding a parrot, so 1 rabbit, 2 monkeys and 2 parrots = 5 in total.

Am I overthinking this? grin

It’s 5 (unless you want to be pedantic ? and say that parrots are birds, not animals, when it’s 3!) x

I'm not even going to post my answer, in case I get it wrong!
Miss Marydoll's maths class would never let me forget it.
I too was overthinking, looking for catches.
