The puzzle
It is not untrue that a standard modern piano has some number of keys, black and white together. Take that number, add the number of noses on an average garden snail, and then don’t fail to tell us what you get.
💡 Hint 1
“Not untrue” just means true: a standard piano has some number of keys.
💡 Hint 2
Snails have no noses, so adding them adds zero.
💡 Hint 3
“Don’t fail to tell us” means “tell us”.
🧭 The real question
