How Many Sheep Are by the Apple Tree? Answer

Did you get it right?

This pasture puzzle asks you to count every sheep near the apple tree, fence rails, baskets, grass tufts, and shadows.

The Answer

The correct answer is: 15 sheep..

Here is why

1. Count the obvious sheep in the open pasture first.
2. Then check behind fence rails, near the baskets, and in the tree shadow.
3. The intended total is 15 sheep.

Why people miss it

Several wool backs and faces blend into the fence rails and shaded grass, so the first count often stops too early.
