Naseni: all i c is 14 x 3 = 42 + d center which is 18 = 60

Exactly how i saw 60 too. Going by the erasers at the bottom of the pencils.

Wait ooo. Is this the same picture I commented on or has the picture changed because I can't believe I gave that answer as above.



I think 18 in a circle *4 circle = 72 pencils

spongeback: It's 72 because each [b]circle holds 18 pencils and they are four circles.
18*4=72[/b]
undecided

For the sake of correctness....its not a circle but a HEXAGON (6 SIDED POLYGON)... i believe.

72 Pencils is a geometric construction of 72 pencils, assembled into a work of art. Restricted to a signed limited edition of twenty-five, each shares a common form, yet each is unique. The form is an arrangement of four intersecting hexagonal tubes that penetrate each other in a fascinating three-dimensional lattice. Each of the sculptures in the edition is constructed with a different type of pencil, so each is a one-of-a-kind object.

That is 39 pencils in all. i.e. 7+7+7+18 = 39.

It's 54...There are only 3 circles..each holding 18 pencils...look at d pic closely again.
Re: How Many Pencils Can You See? by UyiIredia(m): 11:16pm On Aug 27, 2013
Dang. This stuff is tricky. I checked it again and counted 18_not 20_pencils in a plane. Given 4 planes that's 72 pencils which is in agreement with what some early commenters noted.
