The drawing – which was shared on the website Optics4Kids – is an example of a Kanizsa Triangle.
Not giving away a single clue, the caption challenges players to identify all the triangles hiding in plain sight.
It reads: “How many triangles are present in the image?”
And trust us, it’ll have you kicking yourself.

At first glance, the drawing seems to show two triangles – one facing up and one facing down.
However, the website states: “There are no triangles.
“In reality there are only 3 V shapes and 3 shapes that look like Pac-Men.”
The Kanizsa Triangle is designed to trick the brain into thinking that objects which are grouped together in this way are a whole – even when they’re incomplete.
