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

None, Moses wasn't on the ark Noah was.

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!

Common Wrong Answers

“Two”

This answer assumes that Moses took two of each species, but it was actually Noah who took the animals on the ark.

“One”

This guess suggests that Moses took one of each species, which is incorrect; Noah was the one associated with the ark.

“Four”

This answer is arbitrary and doesn't reflect the biblical story, as Moses did not take any animals on the ark; that was Noah's role.
