Optical illusions LIVE — Everyone can see the tree – but only the top 1% can find the 10 faces hiding in its branches

Your brain won’t let you see this

Believe it or not, there are four hands in the picture, below.

At first glance, there appear to be three outstretched arms, but look closer and there are four bottles.

Look again at the bottles and you might make out a blue woolly glove.

But where is the arm?

The truth dawns when you finally see the camouflage-patterned sleeve running from the left of the picture.

Rick rolling illusion

In a video posted on TikTok, @HecticNick shared what appears to be a painting of a house – but everything changes if you take another look.

“This picture is not what you think it is,” he said.

When looking directly at the image, he said: “It looks like a pretty normal painting.”

But once you turn your phone to the left, you’ll see an image of Rick Astley, in his suit from the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

This music video has been frequently used for memes, and its surprise appearance online has earned the name Rick Roll.

“Once you see it, you can’t unsee it,” said HecticNick.

Can you figure out this picture?

Once you work out what’s going on in this brain-melting picture, you can’t unsee it.

“This picture is not what you think it is,” TikToker Pasillusion revealed to his followers.

Although it looks like a satellite shot of a ship sailing on the ocean, the image actually just shows a leather couch with a rip in it.

How many triangles do you see?

Only one percent of the population can spot all of the triangles in this mind-bending illusion, according to a viral TikTok by a user called Hectic Nick.

Nick shared the illusion and it quickly went viral, racking up 1.6million views and more than 135k comments.

“It sounds simple, but it’s not easy,” he teased. The large, primary triangle was immediately apparent, as were some smaller triangles toward the top, but the rest of the image is filled with other shapes.

The number of triangles contained in the image is 18.

If you struggle to count them all, treat the lines in the image as a grid, and construct triangles of varying sizes row by row and column by column.
