Can YOU see it? There’s a number hidden in this red speckled image

Lately, there have been some truly mind-bending illusions making waves. I mean, who would’ve thought a Coke can might not be the classic red we all know, or that fuel pumps could seem to play tricks with their colors? But the latest optical head-scratcher taking the internet by storm? It’s right up there as one of the toughest challenges yet.

Check this out: a musicologist over on Twitter, @thefigen, dropped an image that’s got a red-speckled backdrop. And hidden smack dab in the middle of it is a number, just waiting to trip you up. She posted it with the caption, “Eye test! What number do you see?”

You’d think it’d be easy-peasy, but nope. That sneaky number is hiding in plain sight. You might need to channel your inner detective, armed with patience and maybe even a magnifying glass to crack the code.
