Nothing delights digital natives more than a good optical illusion. Over the years, people have racked their brains over the right answer of several optical illusions—from trying to guess the colour of “the dress” in 2015 or finding the “curved line” in 2021.
This year, people on the internet are struggling to find the number hidden inside a black and white optical illusion that is somewhat modelled after the iconic Fraser spiral illusion.
Some netizens are showing more interest in wondering the science behind the illusion rather than the “right” answer. In an attempt to explain the phenomenon a person tweeted, “I’m guessing the numbers you see depend on your ‘contrast sensitivity (different from what a standard eye measures). It can be tested by opticians. Worth doing if you’re struggling, as it can affect your ability to see at night, or in rain, fog, etc.”
Spoiler ahead
On social media, nothing remains a mystery for long. In this case, too, some people have cracked the code. A few of them have tweeted that if one steps away from the screen, they will be able to see the seven digits in the order of, 3452389, more clearly.
A few people highlighted that the digits become clear when one takes the screenshot of the optical illusion.

One does not need to worry about getting their eyes checked if they are not able to see seven digits in the first few attempts. After all optical illusions are meant to be confusing.
