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 French Bulldogs.
The file, image_29.png, asks a very simple question: “How many French bulldogs are hiding here?”
What makes this counting challenge so tricky is how some of the tiny puppies are perfectly camouflaged among the bat-like ears and wrinkly faces of the larger dogs. There are six large French Bulldogs sitting and resting prominently, 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 black dog on the left, 1 hiding behind the right side of the center fawn dog, and 1 more peeking out from behind the right side of the dog on the far right.
In the bottom row, there is 1 puppy peeking out from behind the left ear of the fawn dog on the far left, 1 peeking out from behind its right ear, 1 nestled safely between the front paws of the center dog, and 1 resting between the front paws of the dark 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.
