The internet has its fair share of ways of leaving viewers stumped in more ways than one.
Therefore, when an image popped up on viewer’s screens in terms of a simple puzzle, many were forced to take a second glance to understand it all. And since we’re halfway through the month of February, we thought we’d also put our viewers to the test and see if they can rise up to the challenge.
As you can probably expect, people on social media were left arguing for days. And that’s because they simply couldn’t get their heads around the answer. Moreover, we simply can’t blame them as the debate surrounds a mind-boggling optical illusion.
The image was shared on Twitter as an entertaining lockdown puzzle and since then, it has received a viral response with shares comprising of more than 46,000 retweets. How cool is that?
The Challenge
Can find out how many people are actually present in this mind-boggling picture? Take your time because it’s actually trickier than most people perceive at first glance!
The Solution
Originally, the poster mentioned, “my brain refuses to believe that there are 4 people in this photograph.” And that’s when viewers starting thinking outside the box in terms of what the answer could be.
Many wrongly assumed that the final answer was just 3 and it’s actually pretty simple to see why.
One extremely confused social media user questioned why there are only 3 arms, yet four bottles. In the same way, a second laughed it off by claiming that after viewing this photo, he’s questioning if he’s actually blind or there is more than meets the eye going on in this scenario.
The answer is 4 people and the catch is how the 4th person is wearing a camouflage jacket. So, how well did you do? Let us know in the comments section and don’t forget to stay tuned for more entertaining puzzles.
