A square fence post has three fence posts on each side. How many fence posts are there around the garden?

Answer:
Some people would say that the correct answer is twelve. However, if you include the FIRST square fence post that is used to give placement references to the four sides of three posts on each side (three times four is twelve), then you get the first post (one) plus the twelve posts which equals thirteen.
