How many balls can you see in the picture?
We all love riddles and training our brains, and it’s a good choice. Are you ready to wake up and face this puzzle?
Here comes the challenge. It’s not proper math, but I remember our geometry teacher gave us a similar problem back in school. This may seem easy at first but you will quickly realize it is not as easy as it looks.
Below is a picture – and the question is: how many balls are in it?
How many did you find? The answer will be below the next picture.
The answer is revealed below but don’t cheat by peeking!
A
B
C
There are a lot of balls
It is important to think a little outside the box to figure this one out.
The correct answer is 30 balls!
First, discern between visible balls, and balls making up that pile.
Visible: 16, that’s rather easy.
Full pile: we have a 4×4 bottom layer, then 3×3, 2×2, 1×1.
16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 in my book.
Anyone disagrees?
Did you get the correct answer? Congratulations to you if that’s the case, you are sharp!
