Posted: 06 Dec 2013 03:58 AM PST

Are you a fan of optical illusions that truly test your brain power? Well, this is the optical illusion that you have been looking for. This is yet another optical illusion that effectively uses black and white to mess with your perceptual senses. This isn’t a really an intricate optical illusion or anything that’s advanced. Instead, it’s actually very simple, plain and put right in front of you. The object of this sloping lines optical illusion is to judge whether or not the lines that the white and black blocks are on top of are actually sloping horizontal lines or if they are straight lines. However, it’s difficult, because of the use of black and white blocks mixed together. Scroll down to check out this sloping lines optical illusion below and see if you can figure out whether or not the horizontal lines are even or if they are actually sloping.

So, there you have it. Now, my question to you is this: Are the horizontal lines in the image above sloping or not? You see, this is a tough optical illusion, because it’s simple, but it’s confusing to our brains. It’s hard for our brains to make sense of the organization of the image above. First of all, looking at the image vertically is hard to do, because there are no even vertical lines. Secondly, the use of black and white throws off our perception, as well. In case you’re wondering, the horizontal lines are perfectly straight, but our eyes make it seem as if they’re actually sloping. However, you can even get out a ruler to measure the lines and you’ll see that they’re perfectly straight and also run the same length as each other. Did this one get you? If so, you should share this image with your friends and see if it tricks them, too.

Are you on the hunt for a truly challenging optical illusion that is probably going to scramble your brain if you try to figure it out? Well, you’re in luck for today, because we are going to provide you with a difficult optical illusion that you are going to have a really hard time figuring out. This one is known as the elephant legs optical illusion and it is responsible for causing a lot of headaches to people that have tried to try to figure this optical illusion out. However, the object of this optical illusion is extremely simple. All you have to do is look at the picture of the elephant and count how many legs the elephant has. After you’ve done that, you’re finished! But I’m making it sound way easier than it really is. If you don’t believe me, you can scroll down to see a picture of the elephant legs optical illusion.

How many legs does the elephant have? How many did you count? Did this image give you some serious problems? Chances are that you’re indecisive. How could you let something as simple as a picture of an elephant trick your brain like this? I told you that this is definitely a hard optical illusion. The reason you’ve having trouble with this image is due to the fact that the artist responsible for this image was very clever. The only correct elephant leg in the drawing is the back left leg. That leg is completely intact, but the others aren’t. If you look very closely, you’ll see that the rest of the legs have the foot missing from them. Basically, the artist chopped the feet off of the legs and put the images of the feet between the actual legs. Look closely at the image and you’ll see exactly what I’m talking about.
