How many triangles can you find?
How many triangles do you see?
The answer is lucky number 24—25 if you want to get fussy.
At first glance, the image seems to be a simple illustration with multiple shapes. Now here’s the catch—count how many triangles are in the drawing. People are scratching their heads at the different numbers they are coming up.
If you’re completely stumped, we’ll give you a hint: The trick lies in factoring multiple smaller triangles into becoming a bigger triangle.
How many triangles answer: explained
Got an answer? If you did the math and your answer was 24, congratulations, you’re in the majority. Most people on Quora agreed that the answer is 24, with each row containing six triangles. If you’re into shapes, also try to figure out how many squares are in this image.
However, if you really want to get technical, the truly “correct” answer is 25. The 25th triangle is hidden in the “A” in the artist’s signature in the right-hand corner. An even more nitpicking Quora user noted there was another triangle in the image if you count the word “triangles.” Less than 1% of people can ace this shapes brainteaser (though we bet the aforementioned eagle-eyed user is among that statistic).
