Can you solve this test?

Here are the different combinations to look out for:

• 8 basic triangles: the small ones, the obvious ones, the triangles that we see first.
• 4 medium triangles : by placing two small triangles next to each other (like two pieces of cake).
• 2 large triangles : by connecting four triangles covering an entire semicircle.
• 1 hidden triangle : formed from the symmetry of a stylized semicircle that can be visualized by grouping.
• 1 « huge » triangle : a creative combination that takes into account the entire circle, like a stylized triangular figure.

The sum that surprises almost everyone

So if we calculate together:

8 (small) + 4 (medium) + 2 (large) + 1 (hidden) + 1 (huge) = a total of 16 triangles.

Surprising, isn’t it? Behind this simple, child-like diagram is a mental construction game that challenges our logical mind. and stimulates our imagination. It’s not just an eye test, it’s a real brain teaser that stimulates our analytical skills.

A visual game… but also a lesson

This type of visual illusion reminds us of one important thing: what we see is not always the full reality. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective to discover a whole new way of looking at things – in a diagram, just like in life!

The next time you encounter such a challenge, take a deep breath, look differently… and trust in your powers of observation.
