Answer: How Many Ducks Are at the Town Pond?

The Answer

The correct answer is: 15 real ducks and ducklings.

Here is why

  1. Two real ducks stand on the bridge and two swim just below it.
  2. Five birds are grouped along the left reeds.
  3. Six more occupy the lower center and right side of the pond.
  4. Two plus two plus five plus six gives 15. The two napkin pictures do not count.

Why people miss it

Several ducklings overlap the reeds and ripples, while the two printed napkin birds look unusually realistic.
