Mr. Smith has 4 daughters. Each of his daughters has a brother. How many children does Mr. Smith have?
Common Wrong Answers
“4”
This answer only counts the daughters and ignores the brother, leading to an incomplete total.
“8”
This guess incorrectly assumes that each daughter has a separate brother, doubling the count.
“5”
While this answer is correct in number, it does not clarify the relationship of the brother to the daughters, leading to potential confusion.
