Hey everyone, welcome back to another fun puzzle!
Today, we have a quick brain teaser that looks super simple at first glance.
Take a look at the image below.
It asks a very straightforward question: “How many apples are there?”
Sounds easy, right?
Well, don’t let your eyes fool you too quickly!
When you look closely, you will realize these are not just regular whole apples sitting nicely in a grid.
Some of them are whole red apples.
Some are cut right down the middle, showing half skin and half fruit.
And others are sliced into smaller quarters!
It is like a fun little fraction puzzle disguised as a delicious snack.
Your goal today is to put on your detective hat and do a little bit of math.
Try to piece all those halves and quarters back together in your mind.
How many complete, full apples can you make out of all these pieces?
Take your time and look carefully at each row and each column.
Count them up one by one, or group them together to see what you get.
Do you think you can solve it on your very first try?
Drop your final answer down in the comments below!
Let’s see who can get the correct count first without getting confused!
Answer: 2 possible answers
9 aplples
OR
Considering half apple to be 1/2 apple
Corner apple
White portion = 3/8
Red portion = 2/8
Total = 5/8
4 corner apples
4 x 5/8 = 20/8 = 5/2
Middle apple = 3/4
4 middle apples
3/4 x 4 = 3
Center apple = 1
Total = 5/2 + 3 + 1 = 6.5
