In the last few hours, a new viral challenge has emerged that for many has become an obsession. It’s about the challenge , how many triangles do you see? from the drawing of a simple triangle that has been divided into several lines inside and that is generating all kinds of comments. You can see the image above but would you be able to know how many triangles there really are? We already advance you that the answer is neither 4 nor 10.
How many triangles do you see? The new viral challenge that sweeps social networks
Apparently, the viral challenge of How many triangles do you see? it is nothing new. It is enough to do a little research on the internet to discover that it was originally launched three years ago, but it has been a tweeter called simply J who has recovered it to the despair of all those who have dared to participate in the challenge in question.

The reason for the success of this challenge is none other than the fact that an image is represented that at first seems really easy to solve, but the truth is that almost everyone who participates in the “game” is giving answers. wrong.
Obviously, there are many people online who claim to have been able to reach the answer in the blink of an eye (but it is evident that a good number of users have probably consulted the solution), but apparently it is possible to solve it more quickly if you take the triangle and draw it as is on a lined sheet . Apparently in this way the challenge acquires another character much easier to solve … or not.
Also the answer goes viral
If we take a pencil and start to review each of the triangles that are formed , we can tell you that the answer that is considered the correct one is 18 , but from the Popular Mechanics website they have rectified this answer when realizing that the possibilities are many more.
They themselves had spoken with a mathematician who explained to them that the triangle has three levels, and in each one you can choose a base from six different shapes. This gives 18, or 3 times 6 triangles, but their own readers have warned that if you draw the triangle on a lined sheet as they have done, many more triangles begin to appear that are formed from the lines of the sheet themselves reaching count to 37, so the debate is served. And how many triangles do you see?
