The correct answer is twelve frogs.

Why?

The seven frogs only decided to jump. They did not actually jump into the pond. There is a huge difference between deciding and doing.

“To know and not to do is not yet to know.”

Bottom Line: Do what you will say you do. Follow through on promises and keep commitments. Your actions speak louder than your words.
