This tricky riddle asks: You walk into a room and see animals on a bed — two cows, four dogs, one cat, and three birds flying above it. How many legs are touching the floor?
At first, people start adding up all the animal legs… but that’s not the right way to think about it.
The answer is 4.
The four legs of the bed are the only ones touching the floor. All the animals are on the bed, so their legs aren’t touching the floor. The birds are flying, so they have zero legs down.
