Did you get it right?
Count only the real goats in the pens and judging aisle, not the painted goat signs.

The Answer
The correct answer is: 17 real goats.
Here is why
- Pen 1 contains five real goats.
- Pen 2 contains seven real goats.
- Pen 3 contains three real goats.
- Two more goats stand with the 4-H handlers in the foreground, for a total of 17.
Why people miss it
The three painted goat silhouettes on the numbered pen cards look countable at a glance, while several real kids overlap larger goats and rails.
