Since reading The Hobbit as a child I’ve had this riddle ingrained in my brain.

*Thirty white horses on a red hill*
*First they champ*
*Then they stamp*
*Then they stand still*

I never paid much attention to the detail, but last night it dawned on me. *Thirty teeth*.

We don’t *have* 30 teeth. We have 32.

Edit: going to preempt people saying “Hobbits might only have 30” as I’ve already thought of that and it’s even more nightmarish.
