Many people enjoy challenging themselves and often attempt to solve logical puzzles to test if their intellectual abilities are as developed as they believe.
So, when they come across a visual game, they waste no time, read the instructions, and immediately begin analyzing it, trying to find all possible tricks to reach the solution. They often view these puzzles as personal challenges against themselves and against time, aiming to find the solution as quickly as possible.
In this case, it’s all about being attentive and examining the entire image, not stopping at what’s obvious but looking further, thinking outside the box.
We tend to stop at the initial impression and seek the easy, obvious solution, but that’s not always the case. In the current scenario, the solution is right in front of us, but it’s not easy to spot. It requires some time to think it through. Can you locate the 18 triangles in the image?
The image depicts a simple triangle with additional lines inside, dividing the whole figure into multiple sections. At first glance, there seem to be only four triangles, with the others resembling trapezoids, but you shouldn’t stop at the first look.
You need to carefully examine every detail, or you might end up with an incorrect answer. The solution is indeed not obvious, and only those with a high IQ can find it within ten seconds. A very short time, but it demonstrates an individual’s reasoning abilities.
Think outside the box, don’t just focus on the triangles you immediately see. You need to almost break down the figure, observe how the interwoven lines create other triangles. Keep in mind the triangles you’ve already found to avoid confusion and follow a logical method to count them.
If you haven’t found the solution or want to check if you’ve successfully solved the puzzle, here’s an explanatory video showing how to spot the 18 triangles.
