In the digital age, puzzles and puzzles are invading our screens, becoming a must for all curious minds looking for challenges. Think you’re a whiz at puzzles? So get ready, because the test we are offering you today will put your brain to the test. And for good reason, 95% of people cannot solve this riddle: can you count the number of triangles in this hexagon? Challenge yourself and find out if you are one of the few elected to the club of outstanding logicians!
What to expect from an IQ test?
Before throwing yourself headlong into this challenge, let’s understand what’s at stake better. Intelligence Quotient tests, better known by the acronym IQ, assess logic, concentration and the ability to find innovative solutions. These little brain gymnastics are perfect exercises to find out if you have that little extra something to stand out from ordinary mortals. So, are you ready to take up the gauntlet and test your intelligence with our riddle of the day?
Deciphering the hexagon riddle
Let’s dive in. Look closely at the image that accompanies this article. Our object of study: a hexagon complex, littered with triangles of all sizes. Our mission, if we accept it, is to count all these little triangles, without omitting a single one. Does this challenge seem within your reach? Don’t underestimate the task, because every detail counts and could well be the key to a fair result.
To overcome this challenge, it is essential to demonstrate concentration and methodology. Each triangle, large or small, forms part of the solution and must be counted. The goal is not only to flatter your ego, but also to understand your strengths and adapt your reasoning methods to boost your performance in other areas of life.
To succeed, it’s less about counting quickly and more about counting methodically. This is what makes these tests so delicious: they measure your ability to be thorough as well as clever.
The key to the mystery: how many triangles do you see?
A big thank you to all the brave people who tried to solve our riddle! Now comes the moment of truth: is the solution as obvious as it seems?
The answer is surprisingly simple: the hexagon contains 32 triangles. If we break it down, we find 5 vertices of the hexagon, each having 6 triangles based on their position, in addition to the 2 large central triangles. Did you get close to the right count?
This enigma has the merit of demonstrating that sometimes the most complicated solutions are hidden in simple details. So share this challenge with your loved ones on social networks. Who knows, it could encourage them to exercise their neurons and join the ranks of insightful minds!
