How many siphons?

**Thanks to Smoke Jaguar for submitting this question**
Question:
How many siphons do octopuses, squid and cuttlefish have?
Answer:
They ALL have one, although it can be moved around quite a bit.
The fact that all cephalopods have only one siphon has escaped many toy companies. It is very common to find octopus toys with two siphons!
