Ready to put your eyesight and focus to the test? In this mind-bending optical illusion, you’ll see a grid filled entirely with the number 0, but hidden somewhere among them is a lone letter ‘C’. Your mission: spot the ‘C’ within 30 seconds.

Why is this so hard? The forms of 0 and C are surprisingly similar, particularly when they are set into close rows and columns. Your brain quickly learns to recognise the recurring circular forms of the zeros and makes it much more challenging to find the minuscule opening that distinguishes a ‘C’. This is precisely how optical illusions trick your mind, they depend on your brain’s tendency to fill in anticipated patterns.If you wish to enhance your opportunity of seeing the concealed letter, scan the grid thoroughly from left to right instead of allowing your eyes to flit around. Pay attention to spotting the little open loop of the ‘C’ instead of observing the general forms. You can also break up the grid in your mind into several mini-sections, scanning each slowly before proceeding to the next one. These strategies help keep your brain from blending the letters together and make it easier to notice the tiny difference that reveals the ‘C’.This is a perfect mini-challenge for friends and family. Start a 30-second timer and see who spots the letter ‘C’ first. You’ll be surprised at how many miss it until the time is up, proof that even the smallest details can evade us when surrounded by patterns.When you do find it, you will have a laugh at how plain it was. That’s the beauty of illusions, they illustrate just how easily our minds can be fooled and how small a shift in point of view is enough to make us miss something entirely.Did you find it in 30 seconds? If yes, then Congratulations! And if not then you can find the answer below and practice more and more optical illusions so that you would be able to ace them next time and not feel sad! It’s only a game, sometimes you win and sometimes you fail and learn.
