How Many Ducks Are by the Farm Pond? Answer

The Answer

The correct answer is: The intended answer is 18 ducks and ducklings.

Here is why

  1. Count the clear ducks in the open water first.
  2. Add the ducks on the right bank, the far-left bank, and the duck beside the feed bucket.
  3. Then include the ducklings near the lower-left bank and the partial ducklings near the reeds; do not count shadows or reflections.

Why people miss it

The first count usually catches the large ducks and misses the small ducklings near the reeds and lower bank.
