Riddle #65
There are 3 apples in a bowl on the table. You take 2 of them and put them in your bag. How many apples do you have?
You solved this one before
Answer: 2 — the two in your bag
Almost everyone answers 1, because 1 is what's left in the bowl. But nobody asked about the bowl: you took 2, so you have 2.
