How many apples do you see? I counted 16.

Did you get it right?

Count only the real apples on the old kitchen table.

The Answer

There are 16 apples.

Here is why

  1. Count the apples on the table.
  2. Count the apples in the basket.
  3. Count the apples near the plate.
  4. Do not count decorations or other red objects.

Why people miss it

Some red objects look apple-like at first glance, so it helps to count by group.

Did this one fool you at first glance?
