How many dots are there?

The Tricky Dot – Counting Puzzle

The internet is full of viral challenges that test our thinking skills, and one image puzzle is really confusing people.

At first, it seems easy: count the dots in the picture. But like many viral puzzles, it’s not as simple as it looks. This puzzle shows green dots in a cross – like shape.

You might think counting dots is a breeze, but that’s where most folks make a mistake. The challenge isn’t just about counting the obvious dots. You have to spot the hidden details in the image.

This puzzle plays on a common mental tendency. Our brains often miss small details when we focus on the big picture. That’s why many people overlook some of the less – obvious dots in the image. Our minds like to simplify things, sometimes at the cost of getting the right answer.
