Riddle

If there are four sheep, two dogs, and one herds-men, how many feet are there?

Choose an answer

A.24
B.20
C.18
D.Two. Sheep have hooves; dogs have paws; only people have feet.
Hint: It's a 11-word phrase with 48 letters, starting with "T".

Answer

Two. Sheep have hooves; dogs have paws; only people have feet.

Why this is the answer

This is a wordplay trap: only humans technically have 'feet,' while sheep have hooves and dogs have paws, so only the herdsman's two feet count.
