Solving puzzles or optical illusions trains the brain and improves perception. In addition, the process of solving certain logical problems allows you to divert your attention and distract from everyday activities.
RBC-Ukraine invites everyone to spend 30 seconds and count how many triangles are "hidden" in the picture.
The following sources were used to prepare the material: GPuzzles, Metro.
What you need to do
Today we invite you to try your hand at counting geometric shapes, which seems easy at first glance.
Below you will see a picture showing a certain number of colored triangles. But it's not that simple.
You have to count the number of triangles in a very limited time - just 30 seconds.
To do this, first prepare a timer or stopwatch.
Are you ready?
Start the clock and... here we go!

So, how many triangles did you manage to count? If it's less than 36, try again.
Are you ready?
Here we go!
We're sure you found more triangles on the second try, right?
We have a confession to make. There are actually 44 triangles of different sizes in this square. Can you find them all?
Here we go!
We hope you've done a good job.
If not, what to do... Watch the video below.
We'll explain what's what.
There are eight triangles in each "square".
The figure also contains 8 central triangles.
Finally, the entire drawing also contains 4 large triangles.
So 32+8+4= 44 triangles.
We hope you enjoyed this mental exercise.
