The playful artwork shows a bunch of cars stacked on top of each other, but there doesn’t seem to be a taxi in sight.
A person with brilliant skills behind the wheel should be able to quickly find a black cab and its driver who is cleverly blended into the photo.
Turn on the headlights and try to see if you can solve the optical illusion using your clever problem-solving brain.
There’s a lot going on in the picture with a whole range of cars ranging from orange, blue, green and white models, as well as other black cars that make it even harder to see that one engine is out of place.

The sheer amount of cars in the picture is what actually puts you off looking for a taxi, because there are so many distractions.
It’s very hard to spot because you can’t see it at first glance and it takes ultra focus to scan the whole picture and ignore everything else and really spot the obvious clue.
Whether you start from the top row of cars or the bottom row of engines, you’re bound to run out of time and have to walk home.
Try to think outside the box and figure out what makes a taxi stand out from ordinary cars because the artist has made this very difficult.
This makes it almost impossible to find a useful engine in less than seven seconds because you need to search it super fast.
Studies have shown that people who regularly face optical illusions and puzzles see great improvements in their problem-solving skills, concentration and attention.
Psychologists at the University of Glasgow have discovered that looking at an optical illusion can improve vision by allowing you to see fine print.
And according to ZenBuisness, “These visual puzzles can provide you with good mental exercise, which in turn can help you think more effectively and solve problems more easily.”
The photo left many wanting to find the hidden taxi, but a few had trouble due to the cleverly placed gifts and the multitude of other black cars that actually make this nearly impossible.
In this particular piece, people with a high visual IQ should be able to find the missing taxi fairly quickly, or they’ll never get to the boring solution.
A top tip is to review the tricks and stay focused on the slight gifts in the picture.
If you want a big clue, look for the only car with a yellow taxi sign.
