Pink Elephants ?

[Tanveer K]

ok my friends told me this riddle and i CAN'T figure it out! ok this is how it goes: there are 5 pink elephants in the chair, 6 pink elephants in the vase, 5 pink elephants in the fireplace and 7 pink elephants in the pantry. how many pink elephants are there? and then there is a random answer like i.e. 4 please explain this riddle to me! oh and they said it had nothing to do with math.
no, it isn't how many places they are. i am so confused. i don't get it at all!
no, it isn't a math problem. every answer they said has been under 10.
no, there is always an answer (i said the same thing when i first heard it too lol)
