Riddle

All of Mrs. Smith's pets are dogs except one, and all her pets are cats except one. How many cats and dogs does she have?

Choose an answer

A.Two cats and two dogs
B.One dog only
C.Three pets total
D.Mrs. Smith has one cat and one dog.
Hint: It's a 8-word phrase with 26 letters, starting with "M".

Answer

Mrs. Smith has one cat and one dog.

Why this is the answer

With just one dog and one cat, "all pets except one" are dogs (the cat) and "all pets except one" are cats (the dog) — both statements hold true.
