How Many Hands Do You See In This Pic? The Optical Illusion Has Baffled Many

How many hands do you see in this pic?

A photo of a group of hikers has left social media users scratching their heads in confusion - and chances are that it will make you do a double take too. The picture shows the group raising a toast during their hike - but while there are four bottles in the image, most people can only see three hands. Strangely enough, the third bottle appears to be floating mid-air at first glance.

Look a little closer, however, and you may be able to see why this is happening. 

The strange optical illusion has left thousands of people baffled on social media. The pic was first shared on Reddit and later re-posted on the microblogging platform Twitter by a user who wrote: "My brain refuses to believe there are 4 people in this photo."

Take a look and see for yourself:

Since being shared on Twitter, the picture has racked up more than 2 lakh 'likes' and over 37,000 retweets, along with hundreds of amazed and confused comments.

Most people, when they looked closely at the image, had no trouble discerning the fourth hand that had been camouflaged due to the man's jacket.

"Literally the only time I've seen camo work as intended," wrote one Twitter user.

"This is honestly the first time I've ever seen cameo print actually do its job," another agreed.

"It's amazing how the brain works...I kept looking and just assumed one guy was taking two shots until you highlighted the camouflage...now it's all sooo clear," a Twitter user remarked.

That Uplifting Tweet You Just Shared? A Russian Troll Sent It

Here’s what Russia’s 2020 disinformation operations look like, according to two experts on social media and propaganda. By   DARREN LINVILL   &   PATRICK WARREN Internet trolls don’t troll. Not the professionals at least. Professional trolls don’t go on social media to antagonize liberals or belittle conservatives. They are not narrow minded, drunk or angry. They don’t lack basic English language skills. They certainly aren’t  “somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds,”  as the president once put it. Your stereotypical trolls do exist on social media, but the amateurs aren’t a threat to Western democracy. Professional trolls, on the other hand, are the tip of the spear in the new digital, ideological battleground. To combat the threat they pose, we must first understand them — and take them seriously.

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term

The Nightmare Scenario That Keeps Election Lawyers Up At Night -- And Could Hand Trump A Second Term   (Photo: Photos: Getty Images) Americans will almost certainly go to bed on Nov. 3 without knowing who won the presidential election. Since millions of people will vote by mail, constraints on time and resources will slow ballot counting into potentially a weeks-long process. Voting patterns suggest it’s likely that President  Donald Trump  could end Election Day in the lead in certain key states, only to be overtaken by Democratic opponent  Joe Biden  when more votes are tallied.  This could create a nightmare scenario during the three months stretching from Election Day to the Jan. 20 inauguration: a battle on the state and congressional level over who is the legitimate winner. This could include Congress reconvening on Jan. 6, presided over by Vice President  Mike Pence , with no consensus over its potential role in choosing the next president. This...

When Life Hands You Lemons

 It's like this folks: sometimes your mind goes blank. Happens more than usual with me of course. Take this forum for instance. I wanted to post something today and couldn't think of a topic. At least not a non-sexual one and we know sexual ones lately have been frowned upon.  Then along comes one of our regulars and complains about something. Well, they might not say it was a complaint, just an observation, but it was a complaint. A minor one. It has something to do about being able to make something out of nothing. Sort of like me this morning, how to make a thread out of an empty head? But they (notice I am using the correct pronoun, not saying he or she), by what they said got me thinking. What I thought was: Not sure if that is the actual saying, if I remember correctly, I remember the saying going something like this: Umm, no, I don't think the saying I am thinking of goes that way either, maybe ONE of you good folks can remind me how the saying goes. Either way, when...
