1. these things are so freaky cool! Quite the exercise for the brain!

[First Speaker]

2. It's obvious when you see it...

...stuff like this is just so cool...

[itsrobert]

3. Yes.

I found them. Took about a minute.

[applegrove]

4. 5 secs and i found them.

[Lisa0825]

5. Trippy!!!

[lpbk2713]

6. Funny how it jumped out at me.

At first I said how can there be circles here? And then boing.

[ATL Ebony]

7. Same here. It took me about 10 secs to get past the squares

. . . then the circles just popped out at me. LOL, very nice packman.

[NightWatcher]

8. I see Captain Kangaroo hitting a piata that looks like Mister Rogers

Never mind, I see the circles now too. Whoa that was weird for a sec.

[Polly Hennessey]

9. 15 seconds

Open eyes wide and don't blink.

[Nay]

21. I couldn't see them until I followed your advice. Then BAM -- there they were. Freaky..

[Solly Mack]

10. Yes

[Glamrock]

11. I'm drunk and there's not a single fucking circle!

Whole bunch a squares though.....

[lunasun]

12. Ah yes fun thanks

[Iggo]

13. Finally.

I got lucky, though. I fumbled my phone while I was adjusting my screen, and there it was.

[Hun Joro]

14. I couldn't see them until I started to turn my head away.

I still can't while looking directly at the image, but slightly move my head and there they are.

[pokerfan]

15. There are fifteen circles!

[Hoyt]

16. Thanks for triggering a seizure.

[UTUSN]

23. Bwah-HAH!1

[Orrex]

17. I can't see any circle, but I just knocked a book off my kid's shelf 20 years ago

[Donkees]

18. The circles are composed of the vertical lines

[Orrex]

19. One through nine, no maybes, no supposes, no fractions.

You can't travel in space, you can't go out into space, you know, without, like, you know, uh, with fractions - what are you going to land on - one-quarter, three-eighths? What are you going to do when you go from here to Venus or something? That's dialectic physics.

[Dave Starsky]

20. No, Murph!

Don't let me go!

[packman]

24. DAMN IT - Took me a day to make that connection

Well done ---

[Orrex]

25. LOL--thanks!

[ProfessorGAC]

22. Took About 10 Seconds

Just stared at the middle of the pic but they didn't appear for probably 10 seconds. Could have been a bit more.

[bobalew]

26. one has to concentrate on the adjacent edges of the rectangles, not their centers,

To perceive the circles.

[ProfessorGAC]

29. I Did It A Little Differently

I just focused on a single point in the middle until the eye muscles seemed to get a little tired. When i lost my "f stop", the circles just popped in clear as day.

So, really i didn't concentrate on any part of the picture but let my eyes just kind of "blur" the circles into existence. Pretty amazing visual effect.

[JDC]

27. Took a few. Turned up my phone brightness and viola!

Pretty cool.

[trackfan]

28. That was tough.

It took me about 2 minutes to finally see the circles.

[Fla Dem]

30. Jumped right out when I relaxed my eyes. Never did get parallel lines one though. nt

[3catwoman3]

31. It most defiitely did...

...NOT jump out at me, but after about a minute I could perceive them. My brain definitely wants to see the lines, rather than the circles.

[lunatica]

32. I thought I was stupid till 'it' happened.
