How many houses did you count?
1,416.1K Views
If you count 20 houses on your right going to the store and 20 houses on your left coming home, how many houses did you count?
The ‘expected‘ answer seems to be 20, as suggested by ‘silent47’, but that answer requires the assumption that I’m coming home along the same road as I went to the Store, whereas it need not necessarily be so. 🙂
