“You have a bouquet of flowers. All but two are roses, all but two are daisies, and all but two are tulips. How many flowers do you have?” (asked at Epic Systems). I have two violets. All but two are roses/daisies/tulips.
Alternately, I have three flowers, one of each.
As with most business questions, there are multiple right answers. I'm there as a statistician, so the question is - How many do you want me to have? [Note: I'm an honest mathematician and don't play with the results, but that answer would get a laugh.]

None. The hungry people stole the flowers and ate them.
