EDIT: Realized I messed up. Emit beat me to this answer though, so in fairness I will defer the prize pack to him if we are right.

Actually, they are all correct answers, you asked - "How many triangles can you count?"

I only see 4, but I am easily confused.

18.

tri·an·gle - noun - a plane figure with three straight sides and three angles.

straight - adjective - extending or moving uniformly in one direction only; without a curve or bend


None of the sides are straight, so I am going with ZERO 0 Zilch None Nada Nyet, i.e. there ain't none.

There are 18 inside the main triangle plus two more in the two A’s of the text.

So, I see 20 triangles total.

It is 18.

17?

Start with a simple triangle. No inside lines. You have one triangle. Draw one vertical line, top to bottom inside the triangle. Now you have three triangles. One on each side of the inside vertical line plus the original.

If you can see that, you can figure it out.

18, plus the two in the As in the text.

I got 30 but I was counting the lines on the paper, and I'm probably still wrong.
