My mate told me this great riddle and I thought I should share it with you. I want to see if you guys can solve it and no this is not from Professor Layton but you could say its similar. Puzzles like these are a great past time

Anyway's here it is

A farmer in the UK owns a beautiful pear tree. He supplies the fruit to a nearby grocery store. The store owner has called the farmer to see how much fruit is available for him to purchase. The farmer knows that the main trunk has 32 branches. Each branch has exactly 16 boughs and each bough has exactly 8 twigs. Since each twig bears one piece of fruit, how many plums will the farmer be able to deliver?

Pear trees don't produce plums. :d

None.

4096

4096 invisible plums
