10 Baffling Illusions That Stumped the Internet
It’s quite easy to trick the human senses. Now, when a person sees something unusual, they quickly share it with everyone using the internet. We have collected some amazing illusions and tricky pictures that internet users have tried to explain.
Bright Side wants you to take a look at the pictures and try to understand where the hidden object is and how some tricky illusions work. If you have trouble, you can just read the explanation.
The illusion of 2 angles
This illusion is becoming more and more popular on the internet: we think that these pictures were taken from 2 different angles, but in fact, they are identical. This is explained with the idea that our brain tries to “build up” a story: what’s the point of making of a collage of 2 identical photos?

In 2016, a woman from the Philippines asked her friends for help on social media. She dropped her iPhone on the floor and couldn’t find it. Many people were sure that the woman was just trolling them and there was nothing on the floor. But if you find the phone, you won’t be able to “unsee” it. Tap the picture if you couldn’t find it.
3D zebra crossing
Do you see giant stones floating in the air? By doing this, Icelandic authorities tried to make car drivers slow down at the pedestrian crossing. The citizens like the 3D zebra crossing and it does the trick: any driver slows down instinctively when he or she sees the “stones.”
A mysterious lake
“Do you see the lake?” — this is what an Imgur user wrote under this picture. Many people gave an affirmative answer. But in fact, there is no lake here. This is just a concrete wall and a sandy beach is at the top of the wall.
A snow leopard hunting

A photographer from Australia Inger Vandyke took this photo. Snow leopards are great at hiding so it’s really hard to find the one in the photo. If you failed, tap the picture.

A girl from Scotland asked Twitter users why she could hear a sound when looking at this GIF. This is explained with the fact that there is a connection between the vision and the hearing. The shaking picture makes it look like there is a sound wave and the brain is preparing us for a loud sound. This trick was used during making old games.
