At first glance, this adorable hamster picture looks like a neat group of nine. But take another look: a few much smaller faces are tucked between the bigger hamsters and the bedding.
How to count the hidden hamsters
Start by counting the nine large hamsters, working row by row. Then scan the spaces between the animals, particularly around their shoulders and in the wood shavings. The hidden little faces are much easier to miss than the main group.
The answer
There are 14 hamsters visible: nine large hamsters and five smaller hidden ones. The trick is to count individual faces, rather than assume every hamster takes up an entire obvious spot in the arrangement.
