An optical illusion is a visual phenomenon where the brain perceives an image differently from how it physically exists.
These illusions occur due to the way our eyes and brain process light, colour, patterns, and depth.
They often trick the brain into seeing motion, distortions, or hidden images that aren’t actually present.
In one such tricky brainteaser by optics4kids.org, readers are challenged to find the number of triangles in the picture below.
The image consists of three black circles, each missing a triangular wedge, and three angles arranged in a way that suggests the presence of a white, equilateral triangle.
The task is to find the number of triangles in the image.
So, can you give it a try?
While looking at an optical illusion, the brain interprets signals from the eyes, but sometimes, it fills in gaps based on experience, leading to misinterpretation.
Did you manage to find the answer yet? If not, don’t worry, we have got the answer ready for you.
According to the creators, there are no triangles in the picture. The triangle itself does not actually exist—it is an illusion created by the brain.
