Have you ever felt like your eyes are playing hide and seek with you? That feeling when you look at something and just can’t figure out what it is? You’re not alone.
Look at the image below. If someone showed it to you and asked what you saw, you might be surprised to learn that eight out of ten people would get it wrong.
When this image was posted on social media, many people failed this simple test of attention. They weren’t sure what they were seeing, and it turned out that they were seeing something that wasn’t there.
Most people thought they were looking at a Lego set, but that was far from the truth. The photo was actually taken by a helicopter pilot in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
In fact, what you see is a bunch of buses that are no longer in service. They are all stored in one place, creating a rather unusual view. Only a few people were able to accurately guess when the photo went viral on the internet.
So, how did you do? Take a moment to think about this simple attention test and marvel at the tricks our eyes can play on us.
