TikToker Taylor Nikolai revealed a stunning illusion to his 1.9 million followers on the platform.
“This will blow your mind, I don’t know how it works,” he said.
The image shows the apparently normal 03 and 20.
But flip the screen over and the two swap, making 03 20 and vice versa.
“How does your brain do that?” asked a confused TikToker.
People raved about it in the comments too.
“What just happened?” asked a surprised user.
“I didn’t see it at first, but when I looked away and then back at it, I did,” explained another.
It turns out that both images are actually the same, only one is inverted.
As for the reason it creates a different number, it is due to the pixel formatting of dots in the text.
“It’s just perspective,” said an observant viewer.
“That’s because the numbers have a gap in them.
“So it can be seen as both, depending on how you look at it.”
