You might have a superior IQ if you can tell which way you’re running in an optical illusion in just five seconds.
You may think it’s an easy task, but the stunning visuals have left viewers scratching their heads.
The cartoon episode of Super Mario Bros. Super Show shows Mario trying to destroy the green turtles that are following him with a giant fireball before escaping.
The popular cartoon character dressed in his classic white boxer shorts and a matching white cap can be seen running up the winding tower to rescue the kidnapped Joliet.
But a few seconds of the video left viewers baffled as it’s hard to tell if Mario is running up or down the stairs.
One confused viewer posted a photo of him on the stairs, with the caption: “I’m freaking out over this. Where do these stairs go?”
At first glance, it looks like Mario might be running down the stairs, but is he?
If you need a clue, look at his left leg.
If your foot is in this position, decide for yourself to run down the stairs.
This means that Mario is actually running up the stairs.
Well done if you managed to solve it because many viewers were shocked after knowing the answer.
One said, “OMG he was so convinced he fell off.”
Another wrote: “I was so confused when I saw this and now I’m wondering the same thing.”
A third said, “She still looks like she’s falling over during that scene.”
But someone immediately saw it and wrote: “Definitely worse, just look at his feet on the stairs.”
If Mario hasn’t fried your brain long enough, try to determine if the cat travels in this optical illusion in five seconds.
Gray Moggy has managed to baffle social media users trying to decipher his address.
The amazing illusion shows a fluffy cat walking up some gray stairs.
Although you can clearly see the cute creature’s face looking directly at you, it’s hard to tell which direction it’s going.
But if you manage to crack a riddle in just five seconds, it could be a sign of your exceptional intelligence.
