The answer is:
The four dead cows are not what the question is asking you to count.
The six cows that were not among those that died are the ones still left.
🤯 WHY IS THIS RIDDLE SO EASY TO GET WRONG?
Your brain sees the numbers 10 and 6 and immediately wants to subtract them.
That’s the natural reaction.
But this isn’t really a math problem — it’s a reading and wording trick.
The important part isn’t the numbers.
It’s the word “but.”
“All but 6 died” = everyone except 6 died.
So the next time you see a riddle like this, don’t rush into the calculation.
Read the sentence carefully first. 👀
🐄 NOW BE HONEST…
Did you immediately think 4?
Or did you catch the “all but 6” trick?
