Optical illusions are visual tricks that can be a fun and engaging source for testing your brain. These illusions often hide objects in plain sight and challenge you to find them within the allotted time limit. These illusions usually involve colour contrasts, patterns, or the way you perceive depth and movement. This makes the objects appear hidden within the visual field.

 By strategically placing objects with similar colours or patterns against a background, the objects become harder to distinguish. For example, an object could be hidden in the scene with objects of similar shades or patterns, making it difficult for the mind to separate them.

Some illusions rely on patterns and ambiguity. For instance, a face can be hidden within a pattern of lines or shapes camouflaged by a background pattern. 

Optical illusions that play with depth and perception are also used to challenge your cognitive abilities. For example, two windows of the same size could be placed manipulatively in a room to appear larger or smaller, even if they are the same size.

Illusions involving movement or refraction of light can create a visual blur that hides objects. Due to the moving background or light being refracted, the view gets distorted, thus making it difficult for you to spot the hidden object or number in the scene.

In today's optical illusion, you have to spot a bow tie pasta hiding in plain sight. And the 5 seconds will add a layer of difficulty to the challenge. Are you up for it? Then let's begin!
