Here’s a fun visual puzzle that looks simple — but don’t be too quick to answer!
At first glance, it seems like just a few lines arranged in different shapes. But there’s a pattern hidden in the way the lines intersect.
Take a look at the clues:
The first grid shape equals 9.
The plus sign shape equals 1.
The last shape equals ?
So what’s going on here?
Let’s think about it carefully.

The key is to count the intersections — the points where vertical and horizontal lines cross each other.
In the first figure, there are 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines.
3 × 3 = 9 intersections → That’s why it equals 9.
In the second figure (the plus sign), there is 1 vertical line and 1 horizontal line.
1 × 1 = 1 intersection → That’s why it equals 1.
Now look at the last figure.
It has 2 vertical lines and 2 horizontal lines.
So:
2 × 2 = 4 intersections
👉 The missing number is 4.
