A barbed wire fence of moles (that's where the local mole catcher hangs them once they're dead, taste so bad not even the crows will eat them)

An Avagadro!

I wonder how many get that. It reminds me of my chemistry teacher's favourite joke:

Some moles

That's Baldrick's answer.

A barbed wire fence of moles (that's where the local mole catcher hangs them once they're dead, taste so bad not even the crows will eat them)

The question is about live moles otherwise you'd probably be right.

that's a really big number of them...........but I don't think it's the solution

At least one person did get the joke.
