How many pears do you see? I counted 14.

Did you get it right?

Count only the real pears at this old orchard stand.

The Answer

There are 14 pears.

Here is why

  1. Count 4 pears on the top shelf.
  2. Count 4 pears in the wooden crate.
  3. Count 6 pears in the front basket.
  4. 4 + 4 + 6 = 14.

Why people miss it

Leaves, flowers and apples can distract from the real pear count.

Did this one fool you at first glance?
