    How many balls can you see?

    Can you guess the correct number of balls in this puzzle image?

    The image is in 3D shape, and as you can see the balls are in a Pyramid Shape structure. The pyramid needs to be stable, so there are Hidden Balls in it.

    The image is in 3D shape, and as you can see the balls is in Pyramid Shape structure. The pyramid needs to be stable, so there are Hidden Balls in it.

    Therefore Pyramid with a square base

    ⇒ 4*4 Base level = 16
    ⇒ First level = 9
    ⇒ Second level = 4
    ⇒ Top = 1
    Total number of Balls = 16 + 9 + 4 + 1 = 30 Correct Answer


    Wrong Solution


    For people, who consider these Balls Pyramid with the triangular base and get 20 as an answer are wrong. Because it’s clearly not a triangular base pyramid.
