You walk into a room and see a bed. On the bed there are two dogs, four cats, a giraffe, five cows and a duck. There are also three chickens flying above the bed. How many legs are on the floor?
Since all of the animals are on the bed and no other furniture is mentioned in the room, there are six legs on the floor. Four legs from the bed and your own two legs as you stand in the room, amazed that someone managed to get so many animals onto a bed. And the ceiling must be vaulted to fit a giraffe. Also, who’s on cleanup duty?

Why put a riddle out with the wrong answer. If I walk into a room, my legs are not touching the floor unless I sit on my butt with my legs outward. My feet are actually on the floor. Even if I kneeled down, it would be my knees on the floor.

ZERO legs … my bed has rollers on the bottom and other beds have feet with cushions to protect floor and im on my feet.(foot – The termination of the leg of a piece of furniture, especially when shaped or modeled.) so zero legs.
and further … a floor has no legs .

For those who say that beds don’t have legs, IKEA sells bed legs.

Well.. since I’ve made furniture all my life.. I can say.. the bottom of a leg on any table or chair.. is called.. The Foot. and if you look.. most are defined by the shape of the legs.. hence lathe cut’s are made at the Ankle of the table or chair legs.. and yes.. this includes Bed’s.. lousy joke for someone who know’s… but funny for idiots who Don’t know….lol

Why does everyone assume the bed has legs? i;ve only ever owned one bed with legs, and my legs dont touch the floor, my feet do so the answer is 0
