Title: Smarties Made an error
Post by: bright rabbit 1 on September 12, 2018, 02:06:29 AM: On my tube of Smarties it says what o has 6 legs and lives in the sea?

The answer they put is octopus but doesn't an octopus have eight legs?

Squid has six legs.

Squid have eight arms/legs too, but two additional tentacles that don’t function as legs. A thing with six legs that lives in the sea...I don’t know what it would be. Scientists found an octopus that’s missing two of its own legs due to a birth defect. So octopus might technically be right, if they are referring to the animal named “hexapus”
