Optical Illusion Eye Test: Can You Spot The Hidden Number 8 In This Juicy Jungle of 0s, 3s and 5s? Only 1 in 10 Can!
Today’s optical illusion is a test of observation and attention to detail. The image looks simple at first with rows of numbers made from orange slices, mostly 0s, 3s, and 5s, all with a similar shape and design. But hidden among them is a single number 8.
This visual puzzle plays with pattern repetition and shape familiarity. The consistent texture and colour of the digits make it difficult to spot anything out of place. Since 8 shares visual similarities with 0, especially in a stylised design, it can easily blend in. The uniformity is what tricks your brain into overlooking the one element that is different.
What makes this illusion challenging is how quickly your mind adapts to the pattern. Once you start scanning, you begin to “see” what you expect: more 0s, 3s and 5s. Your brain starts filtering out small differences to speed up recognition. In doing so, it can completely miss the number that breaks the rule.
If you have not found it yet, slow down and try to look at the shapes individually, rather than in sequence. The number 8 has a distinctive double-loop structure, unlike the open curves of 3 and 5 or the single ring of 0. That visual cue is your best chance to spot it.
Take your time. These kinds of puzzles are not just fun distractions; they also challenge your ability to focus and shift perspective. When you do find the 8, it feels like a small victory.
Did you spot it? Or are you still looking? Either way, share this with someone else and see how quickly they can find it. You might be surprised who sees it first.
