This August 25th, challenge yourself with an adorable picture puzzle that has been making the rounds on social media! It is a fantastic test of observation skills, and at first glance, it just looks like a beautiful group of Yorkshire Terriers.
The file, image_24.png, asks a very simple question: “How many Yorkshire Terriers are hiding here?”
What makes this counting challenge so tricky is how some of the tiny puppies are perfectly camouflaged among the fluffy black and tan fur of the larger dogs. There are six large Yorkshire Terriers sitting front and center, but a handful of sneaky little ones are tucked away. It is incredibly easy for older eyes to focus only on the big, prominent faces and completely skip over the hidden ones!
To get the right answer, you have to look closely and check every space carefully. Let’s count them up! There are 6 large dogs taking up most of the space (3 sitting in the top row, and 3 resting in the bottom row).
Now for the hidden ones: in the top row, there is 1 tiny pup peeking out from behind the right side of the dog on the left, 1 hiding behind the center dog, and 1 more peeking out from behind the dog on the right. In the bottom row, there is 1 puppy nestled between the front paws of the dog on the far left, 1 sitting all by itself between the left and center dogs, 1 resting in a small wicker basket next to the center dog, and 1 peeking out from behind the dog on the far right.
When you add the 6 large dogs and the 7 hidden puppies together, you find the entire adorable family.
Answer: 13.
