Here’s a simple illusion for all of you! This time, your task is simple… Try and spot where the illusion is hidden (in the photo below). Do you see why this picture is so strange? You should see it in a few seconds. Also, be aware that I’m on my vacation, so I approve your comments once a day. That is the reason why many comments appear simmilar. Enjoy!

Of course, he has a false leg.
His shoe isn’t on! He placed it beside him! Ah hah! Tricky..
thats cool
It’s pretty simple – he’s sitting or balanced on one of his boots, but his foot isn’t actually in it. ^-^
I really like this one. It’s nice and subtle.
Wow, he has the leg of a dead soldier.
It looks like her has a third leg becuase of where his right boot is sitting.
He is washing his unbooted right foot and has placed his unshod boot right where it would naturally be if he had both feet on the ground while hunkered down.
Looks like he’s got 3 legs (or 4 if you count the “natural” middle one :) ).
He has two feet on the floor and his leg out.
Very good illusions, simple yet effective.
alll he did was add a boot right next to where his boot on his actual foot is
It looks like he has three feet. But in reality, the shoe of the naked foot is just sitting next to him, even though it looks like it’s under him.
omg he has an EXTRA foot :P
this one is pretty cool! it took me a while to get it but after a while i did. It’s kinda hard because of the bad quality of the picture. If anyone needs an explanation I can give it to ya.
i don’t get it
Wow – I thought he meant something else when he said 3rd leg…
verry easy he doesn’t have his shoes on
THATS FUN I LIKE IT
Well, that is not so hard. He got a third leg!
I want a third leg!
simple…. he has 3 feet got it the first time i saw it
Come on people! no third leg, no dead soldier… is just his boot sitting next to him.
that is the largest “third leg” i’ve ever seen!
RIGHT FOOT IN, LEFT FOOT OUT.
Wow, none of you can tell that he’s just sitting next to another soldier cleaning his friends foot, whilst taken at a convienent camera angle. probably done as a joke with a camera while really bored on some random misson.
I want a third leg, my di@k!
Thank
i have something similar to a third leg ^_~
I thought it was his foot his hands and the two boots on the floor. But upon closer inspection it actually looks like there are two feet on the floor (one of which could be an empty boot) the foot in the air is a right foot, meaning that the one foot on the ground is the left foot, with an empty right boot. Ok, but look at his hands closely. the hand that is on the foot has the thumb facing the camera indicating that it is a right hand, but the elbow bends towards the camera inicating a left arm. ???? also the one holding the water is a right hand, so either something screwy is going on here or they’ve been hiding nuclear testing again. Someone please explain.
i wonder if it was done on purpose. I mean it could have just been chance that he sat on his boot. I doubt it though.
for those who can’t make a distinction between a right and a left foot: He’s washing his left foot (look at the ankle, it shows the exterior of an ankle) and sits therefore on the left shoe and kneels with the right leg where a shoe on the foot is.
Come on every body, it is obvious, he is sitting on the boot nearest to the camara and one of his legs are in the boot facing away from the camara and the other leg which makes him look like he has 3 legs is pointing out u is deffinately done on purpose
This is clearly a soldier washing someone elses AMPUTATED LEG.
This could only be ‘unseen’ by viewers cushioned from the hardships of war by a life revolving around MTV and fast food, otherwise there would not be so many ‘cool’ comments on the pic.
Now, what is really interesting is this. Whose leg is it?
- Did the soldier’s friend get blown off by a mine and he is cleaning all that is left so he can take it to his parents.
- Did the guy chop it of some poor dead civilian as a souvenir the way american soldiers use to do with ears and dicks in Viet Nam?
- Is he washing the foot in preparation for making gulash for supper (you don’t want stinky feet n your soup do you)?
- Is this some ‘ethnic cleansing’ ritual of death where you hump your comrades leg while cleaning his feet of the enemies blood?
Regardless of the motivation for the washing of the severed foot. I personally would prefer if you don’t post war attrocity pictures on the blog so that my optical illusion widget wont pick them up and put them on my desktop. Severed feet don’t match my glossy new Macbook’s other icons.
His left foot is unbooted. his left boot is under his left leg which is being washed. The lefgt leg is partially straightened
i think it’s the pope washing the foot of a patially invisible cardinal
UM,…THATS HIS LEFT FOOT AND HIS BOTTOM IS RESTING ON HIS BOOT,…WHY DOES EVERYONE SAY ITS HIS RIGHT LEG?? CAN’T YOU SEE HIS ANKLE AND THE DIRECTION OF HIS TOES?? LOL
But why would there be a boot on his @$$?
uhh balance?
this one is kick-a*s i like it alot
The guy is jumping with the can. From the right angle you can take that shot.
I think everyone should take a closer look.
What foot (left or right) is he actually standing/sitting on,
what foot is he washing.
More importantly, look at his hands!
Where is the thumb on both hands?
you can tell its his left leg, not just the ankle, but look at where his left leg SHOULD be bent for his foot to be in his boot, as for the appearance of two right hands, its just the way his hand is wrapped around his foot that it looks like a thumb there.
ths is a cooool illusion
Yall are missin the most important thang. HE HAS TWO RIGHT HANDS!!!!!!!!!!!! This is a cool illusion. :)
He is have an extra foot! Is it nice? :)
The guy is a mutant!!! Obviously, he sprouted an extra leg at birth. I would like to meet this guy !:):)!
ooooh Katie is a smart one
There’s two people. I have seen this a million times. Don’t you look at stuff, people?!
For all the idiots saying he has a third leg,he just took one shoe off! He’s washing his damn foot, give the guy a break!
Amazing incredibly impossibly cool!!!
Okay…so for the real truth you’ve all been waiting for…
This is my third step-cousin twice removed. He was born with three legs. Two of which had left feet. When he was seventeen, his left was ran over repetitively with a steam roller and they had to amputate. He lived in a place where false limbs are hard to come by so they gave him the arm of some other guy who had recently died in that hospital. But that guy only had one arm so they were forced to give him two right hands. This is the story of my very poor, unfortunate third step-cousin twice removed. Thank you!
dudes, there are only two legs none of which are artificial, his boot is sitting next to him and in such a way that from the angle of vision we have it appears that there are three legs present
Did any of you notice the blue thing between his shoulder and leg?
I thought his arm looked like a third leg…
He has a fake leg, Can you put your leg in such position? I don’t think so:p
I do not understand why these people can not figure outl the easiest possible answer.
The man is normal. The shoe in his left side was just normally kept as he washes his left leg for prayer as we muslim need to do that before prayer.
The angle of the photo makes it diffucul nothing else.
@Online Tutour (All Free Resources)
Yes because we all know what your religious practices are, we all know that he has to wash his leg before pray, ignorant POS
This is simple. The guy has both feet on the ground. and a person hiding behind his body has their foot out.
This comment and the one below it are the ONLY two that realize what is REALLY in the picture. Some think this guy has two left hands or even two left feet, positively idiotic since a right foot looks like a right foot, a left hand looks like a left hand, how is it possible to screw that up ? There is OBVIOUSLY someone next to him and he is washing the other guys right foot. He is squatting on BOTH of his oun feet, you can see his pants are puffy for ctying out loud. It took me less than ten seconds to see this and I AM LEGALLY BLIND people !!!!!
Simple: there are 2 men. The first one that we can see it doing what he’s doing. We can see the second man’s foot on the photo (the foot behind)
Wow… do you think we are dumb?? its not that hard to figure out…
haha have you seen some of the comments? you might have noticed it and may not be dumb but some these other people are
here’s what it is, the guy has one leg up and the other is holding him up and the second shoe is just there with no leg… you get that?
Y agree with Ayana.
omfg r u ppl stupid? the guys is just washing his feet, beside him is the shoe, it’s just stuck out at an weird angle so it looks like he has a third leg
It looks like he has 3 feet, but he only put his shoe down.
it looks like he has a third leg but actualy he is siting on the boot from the foot he
is washing. it is a pretty cool picture though.
He’s just sitting on his shoes.
lol
his foot that he is washing is not in the boot that he is sitting on
It still amazes me that people can kneel down flat-footed like that! My boyfriend can do that–I wonder if we could replicate this illusion. It’s a fairly simple one, but very neat.
I thought he had a shruken head,Cuz if you look at the side of him you can see a blue color piece of shit
His feet are not in the boots. He is sit on the boots.
He has a right hand at his left arm!
or maybe he has a big butt and he is raising his foot while his big butt sits in the boot.
thats easy!!! hes washing his left leg and theres the shoe under like his thigh so it looks like he has a third leg
he just put his shoe next to his butt of corse you can be put in this position
its simple he is just sitting on his shoe
he put his left leg up and sat on his shoe..
wow it looks like he’s sitting on his boots
he is siting on his right shoe,and this is his right leg
has anyone else noticed that he is washing his foot with his left arm but what looks like his thumb on his left hand appears to be on the right
i agree wit JK
i think he has his right foot in his shoe and has his left hand scrubbing his foot and his right hand is pouring the water on his feet
You guys need to back off a little! They are nice enough to bring you tons of cool pictures for your entertainment … and all you do is b*tch and gripe about how they are not good enough! Knock it off!
Very simple, the right boot is empty as he is washing his right foot. The boot is simply positioned perfectly under his body as to look as if he is squatting. A second person?????? REALLY????? LOL
the man has put his shoe in a specific position so it looks like the man is still wearing it when he isn’t.
…. His hand is also the wrong side round…
If “…. His hand is also the wrong side round” whetaver that means, then I wouldn`t be able to see the houtside of his elbow. That IS NOT a thump, it is a splayed open pinky finger.
You welcome
