This riddle is quite easy to understand, but hard to answer. You should try it out to see how easy it is. The question is how many legs are under the table? If you look at the picture above, you will see that there are 5 legs supporting the table. We know that there are tables with different numbers of legs, so this is not a problem. However, if you think about it more carefully, you will find that there are only 4 legs under the table. So what happened to one of them?

Well, in fact we have answered this question when we said that there were 5 legs supporting the table. If you look closely at the picture again and imagine yourself sitting on one of those chairs, then maybe you’ll figure out why we say that there are only 4 legs under the table!
