Three wishes

There is an aquarium on a table with a goldfish swimming in it. Neither other organisms nor other objects have a role in the riddle. David has 20/20 vision yet he sees two fishes. How is it possible?

I wonder if he is looking through the corner of the aquarium, and seeing a slightly different image of the fish through each pane of glass.

- against the light the fish is transparent and David, the human, sees a pregnant mother or a formerly hungry fish; - David is a fish;

Nice try. But no other organisms have a role in the riddle. on Sep 9th, 2016, 10:14am, rloginunix wrote: How exactly could he see himself then? In a reflection? Not at all what I had in mind.

hidden: | Maybe he is also a fish, as stated by above member, and he is now seeing the fish and also because all tranparent material relect a bit, he is also seing himself through refection in glass of aquarium .Alternately the table is shiny(metal finish). | hidden: | Or because david has two eyes ,his each eye sees a image of fish in each eye. | hidden: | I also think that if the gold fish had parasite inside it. after a while, there is a parasite fish and a dead gold fish. If the fish was pregnent somehow | hidden: | You said there is a golden fish, can there be another fish like a cat fish |

Welcome to the forum! David is a man and there is no other goldfish other than the one. I'm sure things are a lot clearer to you now.

| I think because it sounds like "two fishes". But perhaps there is also a genie involved.

You both made me laugh. I am full of serotonin now. The title is unimportant in order to solve the riddle. It's just that a goldfish associates me on the Goldfish.
