Yes, I know it’s hard to beat hidden Coffee Man illusion, the legendary one on this site, but this one works in a similar way. If you aren’t paranoid, you shouldn’t have much problems spotting an old man’s face hidden in this pile of pebbles. On the other hand, I’ve read somewhere that paranoid people have problems spotting some illusions and playing “hidden object” games, while on the other hand they can out-perform us, regular and sane people in detecting abstract meanings, and solving abstract puzzles. If someone has more info on this topic, be sure to share. One thing we managed to confirm, is that color-blind users had problems solving these numbers. Are you among them?
Sorry for posting four articles today, at least you’ll have something to do when you come to the site. I feel abnormally inspired today, probably all this had something to do with recent digg effect :) I also noticed that now, when we have over thousand of articles in the archives, it became more easy to link words in the text to properly targeted illusions. So, all these blue links in every illusion article can bring you to even more related, similar and targeted illusions from the past. Check them and share your thoughts…

He’s not hiding very well…
not bad at all. This however, is very easy to spot. You can see the lines where it was photoshop. But i assure you that i would be pretty freaked out if I saw that walking aross the beach. I would think that i was insane or loosing my mind…….. ;’0
It’s starting to take a REALLY long time to load pages on this site!!!
it looks like Abraham Lincoln (back when he was a rocker :-o)
too easy…
Very easy to spot.
oh yeh great
i said in a sarcastic tone
comme on!111111
easy, i dont think im paranoid, i cant get those abstract things at all
is that george bush? lol
the man is so easy to spot… there are better illusions than this
I undestand he IS pretty easy to spot.
It is more successful smaller like in the widget.
This was a very easy one, but at least everybody’s not claiming first post or bragging about how fast they found it.
pretty good, but it doesnt look ‘natural’ if it is meant to….
wow.. a rockman… is this guy a cousin of the 4 fantastics? hehehehe
wow . called the fantastic 4 !
…. it’s more a photoshop thing than a illusion ^_^.
Give me 10 min and i can do a better one ;)
I see bush.
Ok, this one has in fact nothing really hidden… But then I came to the coffee man illusion (I have not seen it before). Coming with today’s illusion in mind, it was very very hard to find the face… We should always free our minds from direction!
I’m color blind but I can see it perfectly is that strange
That was TOOOO easy to spot and it was TOTALLY PHOTOSHOP!!!! Next time make it with more detail!!!
I like all creative things… this is fun… thank you!
I have to Say I love this site but the negitive comments are really getting to me I can’t belive how many there are daily. I just have to say maybe we should be thankfull to the person who put this site up and not always put them down
THIS LOOKS LIKE MY MOM :O
omg that is SO easy to spot, thats the easiest illusion iv seen!!!
that is soooooo easy
This person just took a picture of some rocks and another of an old man off of the internet, put the rocks on photoshop for one layer, then made another layer for the old man, used some filters to make the old man’s face faded, then put them together and posted it on here. I think this one’s pretty stupid; I wouldn’t say it’s an optical illusion at all…
Illusion: something that deceives by producing a false or misleading impression of reality.
This picture doesn’t really fit that definition, wouldn’t you say so?
wow… this is the easiest thing know to all of mankind!!!
I’m having insane difficulties finding the face in question, can someone post a solution?
i agreed he pops out to well…
the eyes give it away
My record: 0.2
i dont like these ones theyre too easy
Your scaring me for crying out loud
lookes like pope john paul
his eyebrows gives him away
