Did you get it right?
This visual puzzle asks you to count every complete square in the picture. It looks simple at first, but the corner squares and the diamond-shaped squares make many people count too fast.
The Answer
The correct answer is: 9 complete squares.
Here is why
- There are four small corner squares.
- There is one large outside square.
- There are three diamond-shaped squares in the middle.
- There is one small straight square in the center. That gives 4 + 1 + 3 + 1 = 9.
Why people miss it
Most people either miss the diamond-shaped squares or count open shapes that are not fully closed squares.
