The taxidermist, the butcher, the butcher’s daughter, and the taxidermist’s wife went for a stroll in the park. Because it was very early in the morning and no one else could be seen, they thought they were the only ones in the park. Suddenly, several shots were fired, and they all lay dead. But, in the newspaper, the reporter listed 3 people died in the shooting.
How is this possible?
Answer
The taxidermist’s wife was also the butcher’s daughter, therefore, there were only 3 people.
