Answer: Counting the Apples in the Orchard

Did you get it right?

Count only the real apples in the orchard, not the decorative drawing on the sign.

The Answer

The correct answer is: There are 14 real apples..

Here is why

1. Count 4 apples on the left tree.
2. Count 3 on the center tree.
3. Count 3 in the basket.
4. Count 4 on the ground.
5. The total is 4 + 3 + 3 + 4 = 14.

Why people miss it

The sign adds a small decorative apple, which can accidentally get included in the count.
