Optical illusions can make you go crazy. As hard as you try not to get \u201ctricked\u201d by them, it\u2019s basically impossible, as it has to do with your brain. One of those optical illusions that has recently made the internet baffled is a picture of six girls sitting on a couch. However, there are only five pairs of legs. How does that work? Let\u2019s find out!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Optical illusions always baffle me \u2013 and now, one of them is baffling the entire internet too. Per the\u00a0Queensland Brain Institute, an optical illusion happens \u201cwhen our brain and eyes try to speak to each other in simple language but the interpretation gets a bit mixed-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

It further read, \u201cFor example, it\u00a0thinks<\/em>\u00a0our eyes told it something is moving, but that\u2019s not what the eyes meant to say to the brain.(Our brains and eyes evolved to be quite sensitive about movement because in prehistoric times it was a big help if you could spot movement early and often. A slight rustle in the bushes could mean a predator was nearb,y and it was time to run away. Spotting movement early could save your life!)<\/p>\n

On\u00a0Reddit, one optical illusion has gone viral. The picture shows six girls sitting on a couch, but you can only see five pairs of legs. It appears as if one person is missing a pair of legs, and on the online forum, people have tried to find the solution.<\/p>\n

Per\u00a0The Tab, one person wrote, The second girl\u2019s legs are behind the first girl\u2019s legs,\u201d meaning that the one girl sitting second from the left hides her legs behind the one sitting farthest to the left. You can\u2019t see it \u2013 but that is what makes it a brain teaser.<\/p>\n

Optical illusion \u2013 find the \u2018missing\u2019 legs<\/h2>\n

Another user took on the optical illusion \u2013 and appeared to have cracked the code. User ElMangosto shared his own picture with the solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeft to right, #1, #2, #3, #4. Number 1 has her legs crossed, and no tear in the knee. Number 2 has only one leg visible, the tear is in her knee. Those legs are blending together. (Follow that tear down, there\u2019s a split where there\u2019s a sock on the right and not on the left. Number 2 has a tear in her knee and a visible white sock) Numbers 2 and 3 are leaning way over. It\u2019s easier to visualize if you picture #3 with her hand on the seat behind #4\u2019s back to hold herself upm,\u201d he wrote, and added the \u201csolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Does it make sense? If not, it makes me understand how to see it. Maybe we can put this mystery behind us! Please share this article with your friends on Facebook and see if they can crack the optical illusion.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
