So, the question is simple. How many people can you see in the picture? Before you begin to count, here is a hint you should keep in mind – the question is asking for the number of alive people. So any inanimate representation of a person does not count.

Count away then. But be careful! There’s a tiny bit more to the picture than is apparent at first glance!

Did you manage to count everyone? Take another look! And when you are ready, scroll down below to reveal the answer.

Before we reveal the answer, did you count 5 people? If that is your answer, then, unfortunately, you are incorrect. So now that you know that, take some time to count again!

Well, is the picture leaving you stumped? Did you find everyone this time? The answer is 6! But where is the 6th person?
