How do you know there were two frogs and they croaked simultaneously making it sound like a single croak?

You completely missed the point.

Males can croak. Females can not. That doesn't mean that males *must* croak, only that they *can*. A non-croaking frog is of indeterminate sex.

Okay so you're saying that there could've been two males and only one decided to croak.
I thought of it like this:

*If there will be a croak there will be a male frog.
*If there is two croak there will be two male frogs.
*If there is only one croak then the other frog is not male.
*If the other frog is not male then it's a female frog.
