Reader called Daniel mailed me this black & white illusion. First I didn’t get it, but after a while I found out it’s great optical illusion indeed. It is real-life example of this multiple meaning illusion. Check the skinny grandma in the first photo. Instantly I presumed she was old based on her nasty mouth impression, or maybe was it because of the chin. After all, she may in fact be young, but with that mean and unsatisfied look on her face, I wouldn’t believe someone young could be so grumpy. Now let’s see the other photo (below the first one, inside this article). Wow! What a turn! She fooled us, didn’t she? I bet she is actually great looking gal, knowing how to have fun and being happy. She must be laughing at us right now. If it’s not much trouble, please comment if this illusion tricked you, or you guessed instantly what she did with her mouth? Thanks!

    Honestly I must say it is pretty weak. Nice try though, A for effort ans setup.

    So anyway, Vurdlak, do you ever see a comment and not let it through?

  9. Vurdlak says:

    I see all the comments before they are approved. I reject only those that are cursin’ and spammin’ :)

    I publish negative opinion ones, cause I believe they can be right sometimes.

    Critics helps me make the site better ;)

    My immediate understanding was that what I was seeing was a tongue, which resulted in me not even seeing the “mean” part of the illusion and so I was rather troubled trying to even “get” the illusion. Oh well, sorry!

  11. bedazzled says:

    Ok I see it now, is that all!! It just wasn’t obvious enough to me, I kept looking at her tongue as only a tongue and not an old skinny woman’s chin. Anyway it wasn’t as dramatic as I was expecting with all that build up lol

  12. PerfectPoodle says:

    I see it!

  13. a.rose says:

    i had to look closer to see the illusion… to me it just seemed like a chick sticking out her tongue, haha. cool pic tho.

    I just thought it was a tongue from the beginning, there is no lower lip.

    Plus, the line down the center of the tongue (representing the “chin”) is unnatural for a chin, as well as size of the chin.

    But it was fun to try and trick myself into believing it as a chin.

    If it was bigger, and possibly marked to make a lower lip, it would have been more convincing.

    it was stupid, it was obvious when i first looked at it that it was a young lady, not an old one.

    I don’t get it….

  21. anthony says:

    yeah, i guesssed a happy young lady.
    i didnt even see the “old lady” until you pointed it out to me. i guess we all see what we want to see.
    so do you often fantasize about older unhappy women???

  22. KiiKiis says:

    i dont understand!!!
    Where is the happy young lady and the unhappy old lady???

  23. Elisabetta says:

    She didn’t look old to me because of her hair, it’s not an old woman’s hair. But she did look angry in the first picture. The second one is funny, nice illusion :)

    Nice =) keep up the good work!

  25. Dan says:

    Hell, my first guess was she had something spherical pressed against her lower lip.

    you got me :3

  26. Holland Girl says:

    I don’t understand it…Maybe its because I’m blond (?)

    Wow..I definatley had NO idea that was her tongue…nice pic…tripped me out..

  28. Christine says:

    I saw the girl sticking out her tongue, and I couldn’t figure out why it was an optical illusion until you pointed it out, and then I saw the old grumpy lady.

    THESE ILLUSIONS STINK

    I think I recognize her from a porno

  31. Anonymous says:

    the illusion would have been better if her tongue and nose were cropped more. The first picture shows too much of her young nose

    Like other people I automatically saw it was a tongue and didn’t get it at first – after reading through other comments I took another look and had to squint a little but I got it. A little weak but still cool.

  33. Ryan says:

    1) She’s sticking her chin out
    2) She’s sticking her tounge out

  34. Anonymous says:

    At first she looked mean, but the chin did not look right, so I looked some more until I saw the tongue sticking out. Pretty Good!

    Choi stick out tongue….ahhhh… no picture…hehe

  38. MAX says:

  39. indy says:

    Where’s the old lady? All I saw was a girl with pretty hair sticking her tongue out… I guess my imagination sucks

  40. Craig says:

  42. Bubblez says:

    its a pretty good pic i have to admit… but i saw the young lady sticking her tongue out… i didnt notice the old women until i read the reasoning.. i guess you only see wat your looking for…

  43. Anonymous says:

    eh, the first one just kind of looks like some lady with a big lower lip

  44. Svetlana says:

    Im sorry but this looked really obvious to me,she was just showing her tongue. I was thinking what grandma are you talking about. But funny enough when I looked closely I have realized that it might look like an old lady,but the hair is hair of a young person.

    I like your site a lot.

    I thought she was crying(a young girl indeed), keeping in the tears, with putting in her bottom lip.

    I admit it took some imagination to see an angry face. I know facial messurements very well having studied art for many years and having been a portrait sketch artist so the “chin” took some imagination, but I didn’t think it was a toungue, but couldn’t see it as a chin either. I mean, the mandrel is thicker in most people regardless. It still grabbed me and had me sucked in. I enjoyed it as one I had to think about more than the actual illusion value.. Overall, great! But illusion? eh….I guess..why not? LOL
