At first glance, this might seem like an easy question. But don’t be too quick to answer! Many people make simple mistakes when solving this type of puzzle. Do you think you can get the right answer? Keep reading to find out how to solve it correctly!
Common Mistakes People Make

Before jumping into the solution, let’s talk about why so many people get this puzzle wrong.
- Not paying attention to what counts as fruit
One of the biggest mistakes people make is assuming that all items listed are fruits. Words like “eggs” can trick people into counting them as part of the total. - Forgetting that a tomato is a fruit
Many people mistakenly classify a tomato as a vegetable. But scientifically speaking, a tomato is a fruit because it contains seeds and comes from the flowering part of a plant. - Rushing through the question
Sometimes, when a puzzle looks too simple, people tend to answer without carefully reading all the details. This can lead to missing important elements, such as eggs that should be excluded from the count.
Did you make any of these mistakes? If so, don’t worry! Let’s go through the correct way to solve the puzzle step by step.

Step-by-Step Guide to Solving the Puzzle
To find the correct number of fruits, let’s analyze the list carefully.
Apples = 3 (Fruits)
Mangoes = 2 (Fruits)
Eggs = 5 (Not a fruit)
Tomato = 1 (Fruit, even though many think it’s a vegetable)
Oranges = 4 (Fruits)
Now, let’s add up only the items that are considered fruits.
3 (Apples) + 2 (Mangoes) + 1 (Tomato) + 4 (Oranges) = 10 fruits in total.
The correct answer is 10 fruits!

Why Is the Answer 10 and Not 11 or 15?
Some people mistakenly count all the items in the bag, leading them to select 15 as their answer. Others forget to count the tomato, leading them to choose 9 or 11. But by carefully analyzing each item and applying basic biology, we can confirm that the correct total is 10 fruits.

Meet the Hottest Type of Men According to the Internet Now: “Rodent” Men
“Men are either eagle handsome, bear handsome, dog handsome, or reptilian handsome,” reads a viral tweet from May 2023, citing Ryan Gosling, Henry Cavill, Heath Ledger, and Timothée Chalamet as examples of these types. The tweet resonated with many — Cavill’s broad shoulders do have a bearlike quality, and Ledger’s blonde hair and wide smile do resemble a golden retriever. However, there’s arguably another category many men fit into: rodent handsome.
Rodent handsome men are usually more svelte than muscular, with pinched, angular features. They might not be conventionally handsome, but this only adds to their appeal. Two recent examples of rodent-handsome men are Challengers co-stars Josh O’Connor and Mike Faist, often compared to Roddy St. James (the rat from Flushed Away) and Stuart Little, respectively.
