This optical illusion will leave you scratching your head; How many triangles do you see?

A viral puzzle circulating on social media challenges people to count the number of triangles in an image. The image contains a pattern of diagonal lines that form multiple triangles. Though it may seem easy at first, there are actually more than 20 triangles in the picture. By counting the triangles on one side of the line and doubling the count, the total number of triangles in the puzzle is revealed to be 22.

Before people had TV, phones, and other entertainment options, people spent their time in many different ways. Some people liked to do mental exercises, such as solving math and word puzzles, while others enjoyed playing games or reading books. These activities were not only fun, but they also helped to keep people's minds sharp.
Optical illusions are pictures or objects that trick your brain into seeing something that is not really there.
They are often used in schools to teach students about the science of perception and how our brains process visual information.
One viral puzzle that is currently circulating is a picture that contains numerous triangles. The puzzle is to count how many triangles are in the picture. At first glance, the puzzle might seem easy, but it is actually quite difficult. This is because the picture is designed to trick your brain into seeing triangles that are not really there.

How many triangles are there?
The brain teaser you shared features a multitude of triangles created by adjusting diagonal lines in a pattern resembling geometry. At first glance, it might seem like an easy task to count the triangles, but there are actually many more than you might think.
One way to count the triangles is to start by identifying the largest triangles. Once you have identified the largest triangles, you can start to identify the smaller triangles that are inside of them. Continue this process until you have counted all of the triangles.
The number of triangles is more than 20. Here's a hint: there are more than 20 triangles in the picture. Apply this simple logic: count the triangles on one side of the line and then double the count, as this is a mirror image. If you're still struggling, the puzzle actually contains a total of 22 triangles. There are 11 triangles on one side of the line, and when combined with the other side, the total becomes 22 triangles.
