Three frogs sat on a log and two decided to jump off. How many frogs were left on the log? One?
Although most people answer "one," the correct answer is "three." Just because the frogs decided to jump off the log does not necessarily mean that they actually did jump.
Is there a gap between what you decide to do and what you actually do?
