The image comes to us from Turkish PhD musicologist and teacher Figen, who kind of blew up with a fun "can you see the hidden object" illusion tweet. Now keep in mind, there's a trick to figuring out the solution to this optical illusion.



So if you can't see it, try tipping your screen back or forth to get a different angle on it. Easier to do with a phone or tablet, harder to do with a laptop and extremely hard to do with a desktop screen or monitor connected to a tower. Or squint your eyes a bit. And if you still can't see it, then we have the answer below. The magic number is...








No peeking.

    From reading this, I don't know why. Where's the "why" explained?

    I think it’s easier for red-green colorblind people to see.

  6. What’s crazy it that I’m partially colorblind so when I saw the number I was shocked!

    FOR THOSE WITH A DESKTOP PC: Minimize the window, grab it by the top bar with the cursor, and shake it back and forth quickly. The number will pop out.
