How many animals of each species did Moses bring on the Ark?
Common Wrong Answers
“Two”
People might think that two of each species were brought onto the Ark, but this is incorrect because it was Noah, not Moses, who is associated with the Ark.
“One”
Some might guess that only one of each species was brought, but again, the riddle is about Moses, who had no role in the Ark; it was Noah who brought animals.
“Seven”
This guess might stem from the belief that certain animals were brought in pairs, but the riddle's trick is in identifying the wrong biblical figure—Noah, not Moses, was the one who took animals onto the Ark.
