The middle of the square is completely empty.
If you just count them quickly like a child, you will count the pieces one by one.
Let’s do that right now.
On the top row, there are 3 pieces.
In the middle row, there is 1 piece on the left and 1 piece on the right.
On the bottom row, there are 3 pieces.
If you add them all up: 3 plus 1 plus 1 plus 3 equals 8.
So, is the answer just 8?
Well, if it were that simple, it wouldn’t say “90% will get it wrong!”
This is where the fun logic begins.
