When I say “embarrassment,” it’s because some people think this is a counting exercise, and to get it wrong implies they cannot count to [**spoiler**].

It is not a counting exercise, and in fact more intelligent and native English readers are likely to get the wrong answer at first. People with no English at all would probably have no trouble obtaining the right answer immediately. If you know the solution, you will also know why this is so.

I think this experience is a good representation of how we think, how we see the world, how we judge others, and how we should approach our own Personal Development.

What’s obvious to one might be obscure to another, and both may be wrong after all.

What we see may be the product of what we think, rather than the other way around.

There are so many lessons to be learned from this exercise, I’m not going to go any further. If you would like to suggest one, please do so.

I hope you find the exercise challenging and entertaining, but not difficult.

That’s not Rocket Science!
