Topic: How many triangles do you see? (Read 5178 times)
No it's correct. Care to back your theory?
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?

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-triangles
With 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!)
That's incorrect.
There are 27, as stated by the OP and others 
I can count 26 triangles. nice color puzzle
Is 26 the right answer by any chance?
42 triangles are in
answer this

I just wonder what is the most important skill needed to solve these "triangle puzzles"? I guess you do not have to be highly intelligent to be able to count triangles. All you need is good observation skill? Am I right?
Not necessarily observation skills so much as visualization. But yeah, observation skills definitely contribute to being successful
27, i remember this one from highschool 
I see 30 triangles. What is the price?

LOL at some of these comments. Amazing to hear the "spins" people put on a simple puzzle to justify why they couldn't get the answer or how i somehow lacked to give precise enough instructions. Funny thing is, no one was being graded and nobody lost out on any imaginary prize. It was just a simple standard puzzle used in many textbooks and IQ type tests. Glad I didn't post the difficult ones like:
or this one
Good luck trying to solve these. And for those who are impatient or tired of these puzzles, I have posted the links to the answers below. Now i'm off to go watch the Bitcoin Bowl.

I counted 27 triangles.
I counted all, and the big one, but I missed this shown in middle of the provided answer.
17
Same as everyone, 27.
27
If their sides are the same, why wouldn't they be?
It's a philosophical issue
27, these are tricky but easy
However, one could also argue the title contains the word "triangle" as an additional one. (27+1)
One could even argue that the number of triangles is at least 6 times higher than you claim. It seems to me that you don't distinguish triangles formed of the same vertices but taken in a different order. Is triangle ABC the same as triangle ACB? This is the question...
