I took this silly little test today on a job application...this one was good...lets see who can figure it out....There are a pair of dogs and a half a dozen cats are in the barn. One of the dogs has three puppies, and one of the cats has five kittens. How many animals live in the barn?

You can't answer how many animals live in the barn, you can only attest to the fact that there are 5 dogs and 11 cats.

The know fact is that there are a pair of dogs and a half a dozen cats are in the barn. It is not known where the puppies and the kittens live. So the answer is there are 8 animals living in the barn.

that can not be answered as there were 11 cats and 5 dogs in the barn, but presumably they do not actually live there, i suppose they could but the information supplied does not certify this, it simply says that they are IN the barn
