How many frogs are in the room?

• A. 4
• B. 1
• C. 3
• D. 2

Answer: (D)

This question tests how to count objects in a visual scene when some elements aren’t immediately obvious. The key is to distinguish two distinct frogs from any potential trick—like a partial silhouette, a hidden frog, or a reflection—that might tempt you to overcount or undercount. First, identify every clearly visible frog. Then check for anything tucked behind furniture, under plants, or in corners where a second frog might be obscured. Also consider whether a mirror or reflective surface could create a misleading duplicate; use clues in the scene to decide if a second silhouette is real or just a reflection. When the cues show two separate, identifiable frogs and there’s no evidence of an additional hidden frog or a duplicate, the total number in the room is two.
