Hey there, vinyl junkies, pub-quiz regulars, and classic rock veterans! Ready to pause your favorite playlist and test your fruit-slicing math skills?
Take a close look at this tasty arrangement of fresh red apples. The caption at the top claims “90% can’t guess how many apples are in this image!”
At first glance, it looks like someone went wild with a chef’s knife before setting up the album cover! But don’t let the slices throw off your rhythm—we can solve this with some basic fraction rock ‘n’ roll!
Let’s inspect the platter piece by piece:
The 4 Corners: Notice those big apples in the corners? Each one is missing a quarter slice, leaving behind a Pac-Man shape!
That means each corner piece is 3/4 (or 0.75) of a whole apple.
The 4 Sides (Top, Bottom, Left, Right): Look closely at the middle pieces along the edges! Each one is a neat 1/2 (or 0.5) half-apple.
THE BACKSTAGE SOUNDCHECK (THE PROOF)
Let’s do the ultimate math soundcheck to find out how many whole apples were sliced up to create this picture!
THE OFFICIAL CONVINCING ANSWER
🔍 THE FINAL RESULT:
Exactly 5 whole apples!
Proof: The 4 corner pieces 3/ 4 (each) equal 3 full apples. The 4 side pieces 1/2 (each) equal 2 full apples. 3 + 2 = 5
Did you crush the apple math on your very first spin, or did you accidentally guess 6 or 8?
