How many goldfish are left in the bowl?

It is easy to believe that the answer is 1 fish. So 10 minus the ones who drowned, swam away, and died.

However, that’s wrong!

ANSWER

Because fish breathe underwater, they can’t drown. And since they are in a bowl, they can’t swim away either.

And if they die… yes, they remain in the bowl. After all, that is the question – how many are left, not how many are alive.

In other words, the answer is 10!
