How Many Legs?

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?

Too many variables. Cows and giraffes legs are to big to fit on the be so they could be touching the floor. The bed could be on wheels and everyones forgeting the chair which could also be on legs or wheels.

It said you walk into a room and see a bed it doesn’t mention the chair till the end and doesn’t say it’s in the room

There is no correct answer as there is not enough information about the bed and the chair and humans stand on their feet not their legs.

4 legs on bed plus 4 on chair and your 2 feet = 10 legs.

I didn’t see anyone say anything about GG he darn chair? Wouldn’t that be 4 legs? What if when you walked into the room & you didn’t have feet? Nubs? Usually if there is a chair there is a table? It didn’t say the bed was on a frame or had a head or foot board? So there could have just been a mattress on top of a box spring? Chickens can’t fly. So them jumping over a chair is more like it? But chickens don’t have feet they have claws or talons. But they do have chicken legs 🍗. Okay now I’m getting hungry. Thanks a lot people? I’m going to go make some “jeffrey” the Toys-r-us Giarffe. Lmfao. Still not sure of the answer? Me either!!!!

The answer is 8
4 legs of bed
4 legs of chair
(Humans legs wouldn’t touch the floor walking in a room) 🤦🏽‍♀️

2- the person who walked into the room
4- the legs of the bed
4 the legs of the chair

10 should be the answer

The chickens were not on the floor, if they were not flying they were roosting on the bed or the head board or on the giraffe’s and or the cow’s back. so it is 6 back
