There was this record called “Music for Nurses”, whose cover I received back in the old days in way of illusion submission. I never managed to decode the name of the band which was printed as a negative in central position of the cover. Person who sent me this said it was easy, but it took some cheating (Google) before I could see what it says. I decided to share this one, and am more than interested to see how well you manage to decipher the hidden text. Remember not to cheat, and please be honest when reporting how long did it take before you could read it!

I can only read the second word (size) but can’t decipher the first part.
oceansize — It took about a minute.
it took me less than 20 seconds
I was having a Hard time figuring this one out, I could see the second part of it, but then I my mouse rolled over the pic and revieled the answer, relief and disappointment all at once. Answer is also listed in the tags.
I see “ceaosize”, cea sze”, or something along those lines. Took about 2 minutes until I saw the letters.
Ocean Size… Caption Fail…
Oceansize.
Took me about a minute, maybe two.
The hardest part were the “O” and the “n”, I find them pretty tough to distinguish.
Anyway, nice cover for a vinyl.
I squinted my eyes and I believe it says oceansize. Took 15 seconds, that is, if Im right.
The image’s name is oceansize.jpg. The tag is oceansize. Give us a chance to guess, not to read.
Oceansize… took me like a minuet didnt look down at the tags.. pretty easy
OCEANSIZE I SAW IT AS SOON AS IT POPPED UP ON MY SCREEN. I AM USING A 32″ FLAT SCREEN THOUGH. DON’T KNOW IF IT MATTERS OR NOT????
I had inadvertantly cheated by making my submission (oceanoze)I wound up with the correct answer. As far as the time it took I’m ashamed to say. However, I loved the challange. Keep ‘em comming!
oceansize… about 5 seconds
Just try to stare at it for 20-30 sec then look at something white. :) I know that everyone has found out but still.
oceansize it took me about a minute
o, c, e, backwards 6, n, foreward slash, e
oceansize.. i just hovered the mouse on the pic.. lolz
ocean size it took me about 10 seconds
it took me literally 5 mins to figure out it said “ocean size”
Okay. really trully, this took me 10-20 mins. im not good at stuff like that xD guess i could never be a spy? :]
I got it straight away – because I am a fan of the band saw them last year. Great band if your into prog-rock check them out…
ocean size, i just saw at the name of the image xDDD
it took me about 2 min to get it. but i finally got it! i didn’t think i could
oceanside. Took me about 30 seconds without cheating.
I didn’t notice the tags at first. The “size” part was really easy to see. Then I figured out the “ea” then the “c”. _cea_size. The “O” and “n” are almost impossible with the reverse image provided.
About 2 seconds. Oceansize. It’s a Jane’s Addiction song too. “Wish I was Oceansize! They cannot move you man, no one tries!”
It took me a while to figure it out,yeah the tag gave it away and then I finally saw it.
i couldnt tell….like AT ALL
Apple, hover on the picture and it’s the answer
saw the size after about a minute but couldn’t figure out the rest of it. might have helped if i’d been familiar with the band!
oceansize? okay…i really don’t know how this is oceansize. just got it after putting the cursor on it.
i got the size right away, and the c, but the oean took me forever :L xxxxxx.
Shan,
do you also comment on The Reasoner? :-/
Oceansize, about twenty seconds. Once I got the first letter found it was really easy to read.
Ocean Size.
Took me a while, HAD TO DO IT ON A PAD OF PAPER!
the I was hard to find but I used my common sense and did it with a time of 1 minute
How come I see *sex shop* ? hahahahah
I DON’T GET IT!!!!!!! how does it say oceansize?
if you scroll over the picture it says oceansize but i really dont see it
the white spaces are the insides of the letter. So the the inside of “o” is that first white line. see if you can get the rest. i didnt time myself but i saw the e and then scrolled over and noticed it said oceansize…
wow how easy it was :P i look for a bit like 15 to 25 secs the S was the letter easiest to spot
About 2 seconds. Right clicked on the image to ‘Save Picture as…” and there in the save dialogbox was the name of the image – “oceansize”. Piece of cake.
Wait, it actually was supposed to say oceansize? I got that in about 4 seconds but figured it was wrong because “Oceansize” doesn’t mean anything.
oceansize. figured it out in about 10seconds.. the word is written in black shade.
OCEANSIZE, 2 seconds
ohhhh!!!! it took me like 2 1/2 min to figure it out :)
saved the image, opened it with Paint, hit CTRL+I to invert..
instant answer! Oceansize.
I could not figure it out.. got the 2nd part.. then mouse hover reveled the answer.. even knowing the answer its still difficult to see the first part of the word Ocean… Size jumped right out within a few seconds..neat
Oceansize. One of my favourite bands.
<3 Oceansize, great band!!!
