Daily Challenge #9 (Weds 15 April) - can you solve this?

5 or 10 ?

5 for me too

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.

Partner thinks it’s right !

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

Answer is 7

31

I came up with 37!

5

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?

Yes, definitely 5
