A number is hidden in this optical illusion — and not everyone noticed it the same way

If you want to try the experiment again, here are some little techniques to perhaps detect the famous number in its entirety:

  • Step back slightly: Sometimes too much proximity blurs the lines.
  • Raise your head or your screen: It only takes a slight movement to unveil a new detail.
  • You could be shocked by the results if you change the brightness or increase the contrast on your screen!
  • For those who are further interested, the original image’s answer is 3452839. Were you able to guess it?

A spiral, a few figures… and a lovely perception lesson

The number spiral illusion serves as evidence that our senses are not always reliable. However, it serves as a helpful reminder that, like ourselves, our viewpoints are distinct.
