Optical Illusion of The Day: Stacked Block Optical Illusion

Posted: 15 Jun 2015 09:15 PM PDT

I’m in the mood for a classic optical illusion today. Anyone else? That’s a little easier said than done on here, though, since we’ve already featured pretty much all of the classic optical illusions out there, like the blivet and the Penrose triangle.

With a website that’s been up as long as this one, it’s a bit difficult to find new and interesting optical illusions that haven’t been featured before. Some days, I must admit, I grasp at straws a bit to find new optical illusions.

Every day, though, I search far and wide for new optical illusions that you guys will love. Some days I get lucky, and some days I don’t.

Today, however, I’m hoping I got lucky!

Here’s a new optical illusion that I’m hoping will appease the masses. Well, it’s new to me anyway, and hopefully new to you.

This optical illusion is similar to the blivet, or devil’s fork, optical illusion. These types of optical illusions feature an impossible object with a certain number of prongs on one end that transform to a fewer number of prongs on the other end.

Today’s optical illusion features a stack of blocks. If you count the ends of the blocks where they’re overlapping, it looks as if there are two on each side. However, when you count the other ends of the blocks, it looks like there are actually three blocks on each side.

What do you think? How many blocks are actually there?

Love classic optical illusions? Make sure you check out the Penrose triangle animation and try to count the legs on this elephant!
