How many dots do you see? Go ahead, count them.
Most people look at the big black circles, count to 8, and submit their answer feeling completely confident. They are missing 6 dots hiding in plain sight.
Solution:
The answer is 14.
Here is where the rest are hiding. The exclamation mark and question mark in "How many dots do you see!?" each have a dot at the bottom. The letters i and j carry dots on top. Count every single dot in every letter across the whole image and you land on 14.
Nobody counts punctuation. That is exactly the point.
Did you get 14?
