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.

misread the question, 25 if you count parrots as animals, 13 if not.
1 rabbit, 12 monkeys, 12 parrots.

I am assuming that the elephants etc weren't going to the river too.

3 the parrots are birds, not animals

Oops said 23 instead of 13

1 rabbit was going towards the river, the other animals could have been going anywhere.

Answer is definitely 1.
I do have an advantage though, because I heard something similar as a child.
‘As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with 7 wives...
And so on.
I’d Love to write it all, but don’t want to spoil things for the rabbit.
