Nesting Dolls
I have a
Matryoshka doll
.
Inside this doll are 7 smaller sized dolls.
Inside each of these smaller sized dolls are 8 even smaller sized dolls.
What is the total number of dolls inside the Matryoshka doll?

Total dolls in inner layer: 56. Outside it 7 dolls. So 63 dolls inside the biggest doll. We make errors like counting the biggest doll and not reading the question. Thats why most common answers are 56 and 64 at first glance! But 63 is the answer.
