The correct answer is 17.
There are nine large number 8s on the cardboard sign. Then look around the rest of the image:
One 8 appears in the headline.
One 8 appears on the speed-limit sign.
One 8 appears on the mailbox.
Five 8s appear on the car’s license plate.
Add them together:
9 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 5 = 17
The trick is to search the entire picture instead of counting only the obvious numbers on the cardboard.
