At first glance, this puzzle may seem easy: all you have to do is count the shiny green peas and decide whether the answer is 21 or 25. However, don’t be too quick! Their unusual arrangement can easily confuse your eyes, causing you to skip a row or count the same pea more than once. Take a moment to examine the picture carefully before making your choice.

The best way to solve this challenge is to count the peas row by row, starting at the top and working your way down. There are seven rows in total: the first contains 3 peas, the second 4, the third 3, the fourth 4, the fifth 3, the sixth 4, and the last one 3. When you add everything together, the calculation is 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 24.

The correct answer is 24 peas! Neither 21 nor 25 is correct, which makes this puzzle a little trickier than it initially appears. The secret is to ignore the suggested answers and trust your own observation. Sometimes, slowing down and checking every row individually is all you need to avoid a simple counting mistake.
