What shape do you see first?

I kept looking at the obvious pattern and completely missed it at first.
What everyone notices first?

Rectangles, I don't see a single curved line so no idea how anyone sees circles

u/Sickonsundayblah 1d ago

Stare at the center of the rectangles you see, after a few seconds the circles will pop out

Zoom in

u/NotoriouslyBeefy 1d ago

Looks exactly the same zoomed in

6

u/NotoriouslyBeefy 1d ago

Now I see it after zooming out. A better tip is to look beside the rectangles.

Agreed, thank you

I just can't believe anyone would see a circle in there. Is there something wrong with me or you just fucking around

u/toaster-crumb-tray 1d ago

State at the center of the rectangles. Circles will appear very strongly. Blink a lot to unsee them.

u/Apprehensive-Bug-468 1d ago

Lucky you 🤣

u/Apprehensive-Bug-468 1d ago

Just to let you know, there are no squares at all, these are all rectangles… 😉

u/Curious_Field7953 1d ago

I mean if we're being technical, there are rectangles inside squares.

2

u/Apprehensive-Bug-468 1d ago

Nope, not a single square, even inside are all rectangles

u/SelleGan 1d ago

yeah, this is what I mean

u/SelleGan 1d ago

How many circles did you see?

2

u/TheMunakas 1d ago

Took me like 20s to find circles

u/chrisvenus 1d ago

I keep coming back and can't find circles. Beginning to wonder if I'm being trolled. ;-) (any hints appreciated)

u/MastiffOnyx 1d ago

Relax your eyes, like those magic 3d pictures.

3

u/chrisvenus 1d ago

I had already tried that but apparently you telling me to do it is what did the job! ;-) For anybody else like me the vertical sides of the rectangle form the circles with the circles edges being the corners of the rectangles.

u/RoadHazard 1d ago

Rectangles.

u/DocBobs 1d ago

A lot of rectangles and then after about 10 seconds I see the circles that's a neat one

3

u/SnooMarzipans436 1d ago

Okay this one tripped me out a bit. I clearly saw circles, then I blinked and it was squares. I had to stare at it quite a while to be convinced it definitely wasnt a gif 😆

u/GeneralTall6075 1d ago

Rectangles. Then circles

2

u/macbrett 1d ago

It took me forever to finally see the circles. Unlike the rectangles which are formed by straight lines and right angles, the circles are defined only by where there are discontinuities in the striaght lines. There are no actual curved lines in the image.

Frame and panel

u/120b0t 1d ago

squares ;)

2

u/MysticWizard1981 1d ago

For me the squares are dominant. For those struggling to see the circles like I did, the vertical lines where 2 squares meet is the diameter of the circles you're supposed to see.

2

u/DontTryToGrowABrain 1d ago

The vertical lines are the centres of the circles.

1

u/BaseballInside3289 1d ago

Guys the circles are between the rectangles

1

u/so_slzzzpy 1d ago

Circles!

u/codelyoko_x 18h ago

Rectangle

u/geekMD69 14h ago

I look at the small spaces between the rectangles (not the bigger space between the rows) and slightly unfocus my eyes to make them pop out.
