Did you get it right?
Count only the real ducks and ducklings by the pond, not the painted duck on the park sign.

The Answer
The correct answer is: 18 real ducks and ducklings.
Here is why
- Count the ducks swimming in the pond first.
- Then count the ducks sitting or standing along the stone pond edge.
- Finish with the ducks on the foreground path.
- Do not count the painted duck on the Riverside Park sign.
Why people miss it
The painted sign duck and the ducks split between water, stones, and path make the final count easy to miss.
