The puzzle

Count the member states of the United Nations, but don’t count observers, don’t count the moon, and don’t not count the members. How many do you get?

💡 Hint 1

Observers and the moon are excluded; neither is a member anyway.

💡 Hint 2

“Don’t not count the members” = count the members.

🧭 The real question

How many member states does the United Nations have?

🔓 Answer

193 member states

Source: Wikipedia, “Member states of the United Nations”: 193 members.
