Let's take a walk down memory lane — straight to geometry class (sorry). A Twitter user posted a photo of a mind-boggling triangle brain teaser, and people are now questioning their basic math skills.

So, how many triangles do you see?

Out of the 2,100 responses, people have guessed everything from 4-45 triangles. Initially, the arithmetic seems obvious: You simple count each individual triangle and then add up the combinations of small triangles. Plus, you include the main triangle shape. Or so we thought...

Think you figured it out?

You sure?

All right then, how does your guess compare to the real answer?

There you have it. Now, save this brain teaser for your next family gathering — you'll stump your folks and look like a complete genius (win-win).
