Holiday Puzzle #20 – Counting Shapes

"Believe you can and you're halfway there." - Theodore Roosevelt

Believe you can and you’re halfway there.” – Theodore Roosevelt

Today’s puzzle is puzzle for all ages – Counting Puzzles.  As with many puzzles, the concept is very straight-forward and getting an answer is very easy, but getting the correct answer is a bit more challenging. 

You will be presented with a picture which is a collection of shapes (triangles, squares or rectangles).  All you need to do is count how many of the given shape there are in the picture.  I suggest that you take your time and count twice, as it is easy to miss a few on the first count.

Below is an interactive version with three puzzles.  Enter your count in each of the three boxes and then select check.  You will not be told which of the three (if any) are correct, only if all three are correct.  The first puzzle is easier than the other two, but still take your time and good luck! Click here for a pdf version of the puzzle.

Good Luck and pass the puzzles onto others who may enjoy them!

In order to use the interactive puzzle, you need to have adobe flash enabled.

Here are a few hints:

the number of triangles is greater than 3;  the number of squares is not 5;   and the number of rectangles is greater than 8.
