This number-counting puzzle contains more sevens than most people notice at first glance.
Start with the large red digits:
Top row: 3 sevens
Second row: 2 sevens
Third row: 1 seven
Bottom row: 1 seven
That gives us 7 visible digits.
Now look at the question above them:
The word “seven” appears once.
The number “7” appears once inside the parentheses.
7 + 1 + 1 = 9
The correct answer is 9 sevens.
Most people answer seven because they count only the large digits and overlook the word and the number hidden in the question.
