How many lemons do you see? I counted 18.

Did you get it right?

Count only the real lemons at the old market stand.

The Answer

There are 18 lemons.

Here is why

1. Count 9 lemons in the large front basket.
2. Count 4 lemons on the top crate.
3. Count 4 lemons in the lower right crate.
4. Count 1 lemon on the table in front.
5. 9 + 4 + 4 + 1 = 18.

Why people miss it

Yellow flowers, jars and the wooden crates can distract from the real lemon count.

Did this one fool you at first glance?
