At a glance, the puzzle looks easy: “How many triangles do you see?” But once you start counting, you’ll find it’s a real head-scratcher. This simple-sounding brain teaser has baffled many, with all sorts of answers popping up.
Even Bollywood stars like Sonam Kapoor, Aditi Rao Hydari, and Diana Penty were drawn in when fashion magazine editor Jitesh Pillai shared it on social media. It shows how something so basic can get people thinking. But how do you solve it, and what’s the right answer?
At first, you might think it’s a piece of cake: just count the triangles you see. But nope, it’s trickier. The key is to spot all the triangles, big and small, without double-counting or missing the ones hidden inside larger ones. The overlapping is what trips most people up.
