Optical Illusion: In the latest challenge of optical illusions gone viral, people are being asked to prove their observation skills with the use of an image containing a mix of carrots in jumbled form. In this image, people have to find a pencil concealed by these vegetables within just 9 seconds.
Introducing the Challenge
The image contains a very colorful bunch of carrots, all placed as if random. Their orange colors and extremely different orientations make for an image quite stimulating to the view, hence difficult to find the pencil among the confusion. The subtle camouflage of the pencil in the carrot cluster makes it blend with the scene since it is colored similarly and oriented as are the rest.
Not an optical illusion, this is also a test of visual perception and speed. What will be challenging for viewers is the finding fast in a sea of very similarly looking items, something that stands out differently in its own special way. Add to it the 9-second constraint, demanding one to be sharp more than lucky or by chance.
Here Is The Solution
These images cover all social media because they are engaging, and we like to feel nice about ourselves when we solve them. They also provide a good contrast into how our brains operate in terms of processing and interpreting visual information. In this regard, it is realized that the supposedly easy process of finding a pencil among carrots shows the complexities of visual search and the cognitive effort involved in distinguishing one object from another in a littered scene.
This challenge to find the pencil is so much fun and exercises your observing power. So, next time when you have this carrot-filled optical illusion, try to exercise your power and see if you can sport the pencil in the blink of an eye. If can’t find the answer then check above.
