QUESTION: Three frogs sat on a log and one decided to jump off. How many frogs were left on the log?

ANSWER: Three.

EXPLANATION: Although almost everyone answers "two," the correct answer is "three." Just because the frog decided to jump off the log does not necessarily mean that it actually did it.

"That's your problem," said the owl. "I only create policy around here."

Is there a gap between what you decide to do and what you actually do?
