At first glance, this apple puzzle looks easy to solve. The image shows eight apple halves arranged in a square, with an empty space in the middle. But look closely before answering: are you counting the pieces or the whole apples they represent?
If you count each visible piece, there are 8 apple halves. Since two halves make one whole apple, they represent 4 whole apples.
The empty space in the center might catch your attention, but there’s no evidence that another apple belongs there. The trick is simply to understand what the puzzle is asking you to count.
