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.

Mom secretly records babysitter’s voice while she thinks she’s alone with little girl
No matter how much time they want to spend around their children, most parents need to work and provide for their families and that means being away from home for a good part of the day. This is when babysitters step in. Having them in their children’s lives can be a lifesaver.
Of course, it is important that the person the parents trust their child to is a responsible individual who’d take great care of the little one.
A mother named Nicky Maher from Somerset, Massachusetts, decided to secretly film her daughter’s babysitter and now the video is going viral for all the good reasons.
18-year-old Delaney Wilson, who takes care of Maher’s child while she’s at work, is a talented young lady with an enchanting voice. The thing is that she’s too shy to let the world learn of her vocal abilities as she doesn’t believe she sounds that good.
One day, as Maher entered the place and heard the captivating melody of Disney’s song Part of your World from The Little Mermaid, she just knew she needed to put that beautiful moment on tape.
At the start of the recording, Maher could be heard whispering, “this is our babysitter.” As Maher quietly enters the room, Wilson, who is not aware she’s being filmed, lets her voice loose. Her singing becomes more powerful and more profound and Maher can’t hold back her emotions.

Speaking to Fox News, Maher explained that she had already been aware of the babysitter’s voice before she filmed her. “I was like, I want her to hear herself when she knows nobody’s watching. I was blown away to tears, cried the first time I heard her sing. So, I said Delaney, you have such an insane gift.” Maher wanted to know why Wilson didn’t sing as often and in front of other people. “That’s when she said to me, ‘I just overthink it and I never feel like I sound good enough and I just don’t always feel confident in the way I look,’” Maher explained. “And it just broke my heart.”
Maher asked Wilson if she had a permission to post the video on TikTok, and Wilson agreed. In no time, it vent viral and gathered the attention of a huge number of people.’
“It’s not that she didn’t know she had a talent that so many people have already told her she had,” Maher said. “It’s that she didn’t hear it without knowing she was trying or that someone was watching. So that’s why the video was so beautiful.”
It is so beautiful when you are the reason for someone’s talent to shine.
