To begin demonstrating how this functions, let’s examine the leg count:
Cows: They have four legs apiece. Five cows equals five by four, or twenty legs.
Dogs: Dogs have four legs as well. It is 2×4=8 legs for 2 dogs.
Cats: One cat has four legs, thus four legs total (1×4=4).
These add up to a total of 20 + 8 + 4 = 32 legs. This is where the deceit enters the picture, though. The question is, “How many legs do YOU have?” rather than, “How many legs do animals have in total?”
Two Legs Is the True Answer – The riddle’s real solution is straightforward. Normally, a human being has two legs. Not the animals’ legs, but yours are the question.
