Orange, blue, red and sandy brown crabs are lined up in this beach-themed visual puzzle. Some raise a claw while others keep both claws low. How many individual crabs can you find?
Count without losing your place
Rather than trying to count them all at once, work across one row at a time. Each crab counts as one, regardless of its color or how many claws it raises.
Answer and explanation
The answer is 16 crabs. There are four rows, with four crabs in each row. Multiplying 4 × 4 gives 16.
The colors and slightly different poses are what make this challenge fun. Did you count 16 right away, or did you need a second look?
