This circle-counting puzzle looks very simple at first, but it is easy to miss a few if you count too quickly.
Start with the largest circle surrounding the entire design.
That gives you:
1 large circle.
Inside it are four medium-sized circles:
4 more circles.
Each of those four medium circles contains two smaller circles:
4 × 2 = 8 small circles.
Now add everything together:
1 + 4 + 8 = 13
So the correct answer is:
13 circles.
The trick is to count every separate circular outline rather than focusing only on the smallest shapes.
Answer: 13 circles.
Did you get 13 on your first try?
