How many of each species did Moses take on the ark with him?

Why this works

This riddle plays on a common mix-up between two biblical figures: Moses and Noah. While many people remember the story of the ark, it was actually Noah who built the ark and gathered the animals, not Moses. The trick lies in the phrasing—by asking about Moses, the riddle misdirects the listener into thinking about the ark and the animals, leading to confusion and the assumption that Moses was involved. It's a clever way to test your attention to detail and knowledge of stories!
