This vibrant picture puzzle has been making the rounds on social media, and it is a wonderful test of your observation skills! At first glance, it just looks like a beautiful arrangement of perfectly ripe mangos.
The image asks a very simple question: “How many mangos do you see?”
What makes this counting challenge tricky is how the fruit is grouped together. There are nine different clusters of mangos, but they are arranged in varying amounts and angles. Some of the mangos are hiding right behind the front ones, making it incredibly easy for your eyes to simply skip right over them!
To get the right answer, you have to look closely and count each cluster very carefully. If we go row by row, the top row has 6 mangos total (1, then 2, then 3). The middle row has 5 mangos (2, then 1, then 2). Finally, the bottom row has 6 mangos, with a group of three tucked into the left side.
When you add all of those rows up, you find the total amount of fruit.
Answer: 17.
