A viral optical illusion challenges viewers to find a hidden face in a simple image of a sailor looking out to sea.
The face of the sailor’s wife is cleverly concealed between his legs and the base of his telescope, visible only when the image is flipped upside down.
Reportedly, only 1% of viewers spot her within 15 seconds.
The illusion plays on how our brains interpret visual information and fill in gaps.
Social media users reacted with surprise, some spotting the face immediately, others needing hints like rotating
the image. This puzzle highlights how optical illusions test perception and show that seeing isn’t always believing.
