Answer: Counting the Real Squirrels in the Autumn Town Park

The Answer

The correct answer is: 14 real squirrels.

Here is why

  1. Scan the scene from upper left to lower right and count each connected real squirrel once.
  2. The final visible scene contains 14 real squirrels.
  3. The two flat squirrel illustrations printed on the seed bags are pictures, so they do not count.

Why people miss it

Several squirrels overlap leaves and benches, while the two printed bag illustrations resemble small animals at a glance.
