This papaya counting puzzle looks easy at first, but several fruits are positioned in ways that can make them surprisingly easy to overlook.
Start by scanning the top section. There are four papayas across the wooden display, including the cut-open papaya in the center and the smaller fruit on the far right.
Next, look toward the basket on the left. One more papaya is partially tucked inside.
Finally, check the lower section carefully. There are five additional papayas spread across the table, including a small one near the center and another tiny fruit hiding at the far right.
Now add them together:
4 + 1 + 5 = 10
The trick is remembering to count the smaller and partially hidden fruits instead of focusing only on the large ones.
Answer: There are 10 papayas in the picture.
Did you spot all 10 on your first try?
