Look at the picture above. It appears to be a grid covered with the number 6 endlessly repeated. Rows upon rows of purple sixes comfortably rest against a plain background. But what’s interesting here is that somewhere in this puzzle lies a misleading number 9!Your task is easy, spot the odd number 9 in 5 seconds?It may seem simple, but don’t be deceived. The sizes of 6 and 9 are too close, so your eyes may not even perceive the distinction if you don’t look closely. The illusion happens because your mind will tend to take a repeated pattern when looking at similar things, making the 9 integrate perfectly with the rest of the 6s.Deep breath, concentrate, and run your eyes down the rows one at a time. Don’t fly over the image too fast, keep it slow and steady, that’s how you solve this puzzle.So, did you spot it within the allotted time? If you did, well done, you’ve got quick observant eyes and excellent attention to detail! If not, don’t fret, optical illusions are cleverly designed to deceive even the most perceptive of eyes.
