Forgetting about the tricky bits involved, most answers fail to incorporate a very simple aspect. Some thought it was 7, while quite a few guessed 9. Unfortunately, they were still far away from figuring out the puzzle.
Even those great in mathematics failed to notice the obvious, and it’s all thanks to the limited depth of perception involved. So are you ready for the final reveal?
The correct answer is in fact 18.
