Now, let’s find the hidden circles step by step.
First, count the three large yellow circles. They’re hard to miss. But if you stop there, you’ve fallen for the trap.
Next, focus on the text. The letter “o” in words like “How”, “do”, and “you” are circles too. That’s three more, bringing the total to six so far.
Then, check the design for any other circular bits. In this case, there don’t seem to be more, but it’s good to double-check.
By combining the big circles and the “o”s, we get six circles.
The beauty of this teaser is its simplicity and how it plays on our thinking habits. Most people stop at three, but the puzzle rewards closer inspection. The “(There aren’t 3)” clue makes you second-guess. Puzzles like this get you thinking critically and creatively.
