This goose-counting puzzle is trickier than it first appears. The large adult geese are easy to notice, but several smaller birds are tucked behind wings, beneath bodies, and beside the adults.
Scan the picture slowly from top to bottom and count every bird only once. The pale feathers and repeated arrangement make the smallest geese surprisingly easy to overlook.
There are 9 large geese and 9 smaller geese.
Answer: 18 geese.
