Did you think that being in the one percent of optical illusion lovers was impressive? Puzzle enthusiasts breathe a sigh of relief trying to decipher this numerical eye examination, which reportedly can only be solved by 0.1% of people. The annoying visual puzzle was first reported on TikTok in April, but is currently erupting as viewers stretch their orbital muscles trying to break it. “Only 0.1% can see all 10 numbers,” says the caption in the illusion shared by @purpzosaur. The difficulty of the puzzle is exacerbated by the GIF of the monkey dancing in the background, which ostensibly tries to confuse the eyes like an eye hockey goalkeeper.

Unfortunately, even the most hawkish TikTok users tried to find all 10 integers, and many found very different answers. “I can only see 12346789,” said one frustrated viewer, while another wrote, “I see 12346780 and 00 (infinity).” “I see 64801,” claimed another teasing fan. However, other optical illusion gurus claimed to have made an ace in this arithmetic decathlon with one claiming: “I am a goddess because I see 12345678910”. On his face, the illustration that defies the eyes seems to show only four numbers: six, eight, four and one.TikTok / @purpzsaur The spectators reportedly had the biggest problem locating the number five, which, according to several puzzles, is formed “by the gorilla when he starts waving his right hand”. One even joked that there are many more than 10 numbers as they located the symbol for “infinity”. This is not the first illusion that lets the puzzles scratch their heads. In April, the Internet had a collective eye-neurot trying to figure out the hidden words in this cryptocurrency, which can only be solved by one percent of people.
