Viral optical illusion leaves Reddit stumped: Can you find the hidden frog in 10 seconds?
Only those with sharp observation skills can find the frog in under 10 seconds in this viral Reddit optical illusion.
The internet’s tricky puzzle hub, r/FindTheSniper, has a new optical illusion challenge that is going viral. Shared by Reddit user u/cooterpoopshooter, the image at first looks like nothing more than a rocky patch of ground with shallow water, moss, and scattered leaves. On the surface, it seems like a peaceful nature shot, but hidden in plain sight is a tiny frog so well-camouflaged that many people in the comments tried getting the answer right.
Why is this puzzle so tricky?
This challenge works because the frog’s skin is almost the same color as the green moss and ground around it. Our eyes are drawn to the brighter objects in the picture, the leaves and stones, so it is even harder to see the little amphibian.
Only those with sharp observation skills can find the frog in under 10 seconds. The camouflage is so effective that many people admit defeat before spotting it.
The answer revealed
Still searching? Here’s the reveal: from the bottom right corner of the image, move half an inch to the left, then up (less than half an inch). In the dark green patch, you will see the tiny frog sitting there, blending in. One user wrote, “about 1/5 from the right there’s a round opening in the goo, frog is just below there,” another user dropped the answer and commented, “Bottom left quadrant, about a foot from the bottom facing at about 2 o’clock.”
