This is one of those classic visual puzzles where your brain gets tricked by overlapping shapes or partial images.
The “12 or 13 tomatoes” question usually works like this:
- Some tomatoes are fully visible
- Others are split or shared between rows, making them look like two halves—but together they form one whole tomato
👉 If you count every visible “piece,” you might get 13
👉 But if you carefully combine the split ones into wholes, the correct answer is typically 12
So the trick is: don’t count halves as full tomatoes 😉
