In the white line figure above you can see that the lines intersect to form several triangles. The easiest way to count them is to start at the top and just count the top tier.
You can see from the diagram below that there is one large triangle in red, 3 smaller ones in blue and then 2 medium sized triangles in pink.
Altogether there are 6 triangles on that top tier.
There are also the same 6 triangles on the 2nd tier.
There are 4 tiers total so...
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Highlight this text to reveal the answer --> 6 x 4 = 24 triangles in the white line diagram.

Back to CONUNDRUM, if you want to be pedantic, the text doesn't clarify that it's asking about just the white line figure. If you look closely at the text below it you'll see a couple more triangles.
PEDANTIC SOLUTION: Highlight this text to reveal the answer --> 24 triangles in the white line diagram plus 2 more = 26 triangles in total.
. . .
But wait...if you want to be SUPER pedantic you can look at the entire graphic and find some more triangles.
There's 1 triangle in the CONUNDRUM logo, 1 in the QR code and several in the text.
SUPER PEDANTIC SOLUTION: Highlight this text to reveal the answer --> 26 triangles plus 1 + 1 + 5 = 33 triangles in total.
How many triangles did YOU find?
