This New Viral Optical Illusion Is For You: Test Your IQ And Count All The Eggs In The Cart

Optical illusions are pictures or visuals that trick our brains into perceiving something different from what's actually there. To put it in simpler words, these illusions occur when the messages sent from our eyes to our brains make us believe something that isn't true.

This intriguing phenomenon happens through a process known as "filling-in," in which the brain chooses particular elements from the visual information it gets from the eyes to highlight. As a result, the various layers of an image can appear differently depending on where the focus is placed.

How Many Eggs Are In The Cart?

Your task is simple. All you have to do is attempt to find all the eggs in the optical illusion. The only condition you are bound by is time! Take out your stopwatch and set it to nine seconds.

The Answer

If you are someone who has no idea how many eggs are in the cart, then do not fret. As reported by The Sun, 95% of individuals won't succeed, so if you do, you belong to the top 5% of people, showcasing a high IQ.

If your initial response was 16, then you are off the mark because you must account for the hidden eggs. Ready to give it another shot? First, begin by considering how many there would be if this were a 3D image, starting from the base.

In a 4x4 arrangement, there would indeed be 16 eggs on the bottom alone. Moving up to the next row, where there are three eggs, applying the same logic would yield nine.

Continuing, you have a 2x2 arrangement, which is four eggs plus the lone egg at the top. When you add them all up, there are a total of 30 eggs. It's important to consider all the eggs that aren't visible as well.
