if mary has one more sheep than geese, how many sheep does she have

A geese has  2  (two,  TWO)  legs. A sheep has  4  (four,  FOUR)  legs.

In community of geese and sheep,  total numbers of legs can not be  25 ---- it must be an even number.


The problem is a  FAKE  and does not deserves any consideration.
