FOUND yourself at a loose end this weekend? Well, we have just the thing to keep you and your brain busy.
A mind-blowing optical illusion is baffling the web as it shows internet users rows and columns of the same word.
While everything looks okay at first glance, there is one mistake in this image, and the challenge for the readers is to spot it in just five seconds.
This optical illusion is a real challenge as only those with a high IQ and 20/20 vision stand a chance of spotting the error before the time runs out.
The viral picture consists of one word – ”after” – repeated over and over again.
However, whilst you may assume the word has been copied dozens of times, there is one word that doesn’t quite fit in, as it’s misspelt.
To make the challenge even more difficult, not only is there a strict time limit but the words have also been divided into two colours – lilac and dark pink, which makes it twice as confusing.
Spotting a singular mistake within a sea of almost identical objects is one of the toughest tasks in optical illusions as its never quite where you expect.
Have you been staring at the image for a while now and don’t know where to start?
We’d advise you to focus your attention towards the left corner of the mind-baffling picture.
Study the image attentively – you might be very close to spotting the mistake.
Unfortunately, by now the time time’s up.
