THE infuriating thing about optical illusions is that either you can see through them straight away – or you’re just never going to get it.
And the latest brainteaser dividing the internet is no different – so how many triangles can YOU spot in this infuriating optical illusion?
How many triangles can YOU spot?
The drawing – which was shared on the website Optics4Kids – is an example of a Kanizsa Triangle.
Not giving away a single clue, the caption challenges players to identify all the triangles hiding in plain sight.
It reads: “How many triangles are present in the image?”
And trust us, it’ll have you kicking yourself.
The optical illusion tricks you into thinking there are triangles when there are none
At first glance, the drawing seems to show two triangles – one facing up and one facing down.
However, the website states: “There are no triangles.
“In reality there are only 3 V shapes and 3 shapes that look like Pac-Men.”
The Kanizsa Triangle is designed to trick the brain into thinking that objects which are grouped together in this way are a whole – even when they’re incomplete.
