How Many Ducks Are at the Park Pond? Answer

Did you get it right?

This park pond puzzle asks you to count every duck and duckling around the reeds, bridge, water, and picnic area.

The Answer

The correct answer is: 16 ducks..

Here is why

1. Count the obvious ducks in the open water first.
2. Then check the reeds, the bridge posts, the near bank, and the smaller ducklings close to the waterline.
3. The intended total is 16 ducks.

Why people miss it

A few ducks are partly hidden by reeds and pond edges, and the water reflections can make people stop counting too early.
