At a glance, the strawberries seem to be arranged in a tidy three-by-three grid. That gives nine obvious berries—but the picture hides more fruit behind the larger strawberries and leaves.
Take another look
First count the nine large berries. Then check the gaps behind the central and side berries, especially where a little patch of red appears beside the leaves. Each separate small strawberry counts, even when only part of it is visible.
What’s the answer?
There are 12 strawberries: nine prominent berries plus three smaller hidden ones. The three extra berries are tucked behind the bigger fruit, so they can be overlooked during a quick scan.
Did you find all twelve, or did you stop after the obvious nine? Try the picture again before sharing the answer with a friend.
