I'm not sure you could say there are wrong answers here, OP. How would you know how many triangles they see unless you're Ayn Rand's ghost?
(Foxpup wins)

True, it is subjective and all answers are "Technically" correct. (Some people may see less/more then you or me) But if if you want to know how many triangles the image has without repeating then here is the simple answer: (27) However, one could also argue the title contains the word "triangle" as an additional one. (27+1) For those looking for a more complex solution to the puzzle take a look at this answer. http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/203873/how-many-trianglesWith that said, I had a strong feeling that Foxpup would not only answer the puzzle...but be one of the few to answer it correctly. (Kudos to you to Kluge!)

I actually wasn't going to until I saw all the incorrect answers. I can understand 26; I can see how people might miss that the whole thing is a giant triangle. But 22? 34?? How do you get that? Do other people just suck at counting?

Nice response! Got to admit I had never heard of that and had to look it up. "The word is not the thing"

Do other people just suck at counting? the first time i only counted half of the triangles, the second time i double counted some triangles

I remember when my math teacher in high school did this for an extra credit point on an exam. Only like 5 kids got it right. I like these kinds of riddles/puzzles/however it's categorized.

Well that's a load of b.s. that's like saying to do one thing and then suddenly make up the rules so everyone gets it wrong, for instance if you said count all the small triangles, most people would get it correct, then if you counted the pixelated lines as very thin triangles mixed in with the others like I did then I'd be correct, but to people who don't know that puzzle there's no indication that your answer sheet is correct since the rules haven't been properly laid out for the question. ^ This kind of thinking is why I have a hard time passing tests It kind of reminds me of when I tried applying for a QA testing job at a games company, I was talking to a guy outside and I didn't get very far but he got to this shitty section where there was a badly printed out screenshot of a game and it said "Find the bugs" of course, you wouldn't be able to find all of them because it was so badly printed and there was no criteria for what you were really looking for in the first place because they didn't classify what they meant as 'bug'. Yeah, fuck tests lol Also, if it's only subjective, then there can be no absolute correct answer, so asking it on a pass or fail basis is completely pointless, it's like putting grades on art.

Got it right at the first time. (27) Hope I am good at math, then.
