Optical illusion: What number do you see?

At the center of the viral optical illusion is a visually busy pink circle where a number is cleverly concealed. You are instructed to look at the image for 10 seconds, no more, and identify the number hidden in plain sight.

Some describe it as looking for a needle in a haystack, while others believe it is all about turning your peripheral vision and mental focus.

Optical illusion: What to look out for

When you need to find a number in a busy image, start in the middle which helps cut down on things that may pull your focus away. Look hard for changes in light or feel that make the number pop out from the rest.

If you get stuck, stop for a bit then come back new, or change how near you are to the picture since moving back or stepping closer can make things clear. Most of all, keep cool and slow, as rush can make your focus fog up and it gets harder.
