They see several circular slices and immediately count each one as a separate watermelon. Once you realize that you’re looking at halves, however, the answer changes.
Can You Solve It Without Looking at the Answer?
Take a few seconds and count the pieces one at a time.
Don’t rely on a quick glance.
Try grouping the halves into pairs:
Two halves = 1 whole watermelon
Four halves = 2 whole watermelons
Six halves = 3 whole watermelons
Eight halves = 4 whole watermelons
The key is to count what each piece represents rather than simply counting the visible circles.
