92.6% of Americans Get This Question Wrong
You guys do realize a triangle has 3 sides, right? There are a total of 10 triangles. You guys are making a big deal about it with all the formulas and such. There are 10 look,
You see the three lines on each side of the triangle (Inside the triangle)
Add those together you get 6
Then right next to those is another triangle which equals 7
Then the big triangle which all the lines are in makes 8
Remeber the lines I mentioned above, those are inside triangles. (2)
8+2=10!
The answer is 19
Wow a triangle is a 3 sided figure there are nine 3 sided figures in this picture.. meaning all the rest of the them are NOT triangles.. i win?
acually 10 3 sided figures
its either 12342153 or 9
I’m not sure, I’ve not explored for a long time, but I got 60 triangles. And where can I see the correct answer?
I saw now It is 64
maybe i will find more
I’ve just read comments, it’s not 64 at all I counted 86 and maybe it will be more
hey guys this may seem strange but i got 87 in my counting. no math just counting
I got 72
I got 26
its 64
it is 40 i have taken the test a school even i got the question right and i am 13 ffs you are all brain deadd lol!!!!
Surely its 10 including the main triangle they are all inside!
There’s only diamonds in the upper half !
Or actually 12
or actually loads of them …aahhh loads and loads !!
58
I counted 8, then 10, then like 20-something, now 50.
I am almost 100% sure there are only 50.
Yep, official answer is 50. I can’t see anymore out of the diagram… And there are 25 points where 2 straight lines overlap eachother inside the biggest triangle. 25 x 2 = 50, I counted 50 so I guarentee there are only 50.
Ahhhhhh nevermind I see the rest of them now… Crap hold on.
I was wrong
64 triangles.
you guys are stupid its 64
you cant split the diamonds in half….
i got 41.
i cant find anymore than that.
so how are you getting 64?
Its 763 IDIOTS.
BTW.
“Im from Harvard University”
-Notice the tinge of Sarcasm?
Solution is definitely 64, a friend and I counted this and both 64 if you want to count this properly this one helped out because of the coloring.
http://www.iwpcug.org/davidbro/puz0603.htm I can see that the % of people that get this wrong is also true, look at the answers people are giving. LOL
its got to be 64, and how are you idiots getting 8, why dont you try thinking outside the box for a change
if you count the capital A’s there are 11 =]
hehehe… yeah,
… you people make me confused… i thought triangles had 3 sides. i don’t see any other 3 sided shapes… apart from the actual big triangle and the seven other smaller triangles… + the three capital A’s in MANY, TRIANGLES && American’s..
where are people getting all these big numbers from!?!?
Hmf.. difficult people.
OH… nah you guyz cant count ‘triangles’ that have lines going through them… coz that makes them therfor NOT a triangle… tri = 3 ,people!! 3 sides!! not three sides + lines go through them.
gees.. you people made it real hard on yourselves including thoughs non triangles.
coz therez HEAPS of them!! lol. =]
oh wait… then i say 10.. coz the big one has lines through it&&im sticking to my lazy theory… =]
a lot.

This thread is totally hilarious. My favorite is when people post an answer they are DEFINITELY sure about, then continue to revise their answer 4 or 5 times with increasing degrees of certainty!!

>> way i found 4 more 38 HAHAHAHHA OKAY NO MORE
>>LOOKING THAT IS MY FINAL FINAL END OF THE WORLD
>>ANSWER AND IT IS RIGHT. 38 I AM SO SURE.
If someone wanted a REAL challenge, they should actually go through this thread and count the number of posters who got it right on their first post to see if it was actually close to 92.6%… I’m guessing it would be. (btw I’m purposely not posting the answer I think is right – it appears many times above.)
there are 10 TRIANGLES
never mind im a retard maybe there is 27.. I DONT KNOW
http://www.iwpcug.org/davidbro/puz0603.htm
its 68 you guys are all missing the middle triangles including the one that forms it all
I guess 67, but I lost count at 47, and kept on counting, this was a great way to waist 5mins.
Does anyone notice the *obvious* 9 Quadrilaterals in the picture, Yah… those 4 sided objects in the center have a shocking *4* sides. Any formula that includes them into the equation is already incorrect. I see why it says 92.6% of Americans get this wrong.
16
igot 11
OMG!How its could be 64?you do not think the general image and the bottom. one word – the Americans. So there are 66
Stop.70 now O_O
Ok.I’m serious now.and recent decision is 78.
The answer is 64.
(n+1)^3, n= number of lines in the triangle = 3
(3+1)^3
4^3=64
50
whoops, i meant 64
its 30 i m sure
It is 30. =) and i am not a genius=)
