Greebo was asked how many pet ducks she had.
"Well," she said, "they just walked down that path and me didn't actually count them, but me remembers one duck in front of two ducks, another duck behind two ducks, and another duck between two ducks."

How many ducks does Greebo have?

*Pats Zeppo and offers a glass of bolly to d'Elaphant*
Well, I still stand my my original answer of 3, despite the fact that they seem to have flown away now.

A glass of bolly! Why thank you, it's the perfect thing to follow a Marmite sandwich.
